In each episode she gets in one way or another, involved in a murder investigation and appears then the only one who understands how the thing works. Critics laugh how Jessica murders follow, wherever she goes. Many of the episodes play in Jessica's hometown of Cabot Cove or in New York, but the promotion of its books and visits to family and friends bring her to all corners of the United States and Great Britain. It's remarkable how many cousins, nieces and other relatives Jessica as childless widow has.
