MURDER, SHE WROTE Dying to Retire

This Jessica Fletcher mystery keeps us guessing. Jessica and Dr. Hazlitt pay a condolence visit at a Florida retirement community where things are not as they seem. The sympathetic and realistic portrait of retirement living reminds us that getting older is not for sissies. Cynthia Darlow renders a variety of accents. Happily, she sounds exactly like TV's Angela Lansbury (whose photo appears on the cover though neither she nor the television show are mentioned). The Library Edition packaging is outstanding for appearance and ease of use. For the inviting description of Key West, the Florida travel industry should send the authors a year's supply of authentic key lime pie. L.C.
