Она написала убийство A Murderous Muse (1984–1996) watch online HD

Hank Walden (Craig Wasson) has experienced a life-long passion for playing the clarinet, an advocation which has never reached fruition except for Hank to stand upon street corners in New York City, in jacket and beret, playing ethereal compositions to muse with fife-y melodies a young pianist with whom he shares a past.

Handyman Richie Kanpinski (Eddie Barth, in his second appearance in this role), mends the leaky kitchen sink in the apartment leased by Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury), from which they hear Hank's clarinet playing upon the sidewalk below, through the open window.

Leslie Walden (Jenny Lewis), too, is able to hear Hank's musing her instrumental creativity upon the piano upon which she diligently practices for a forthcoming recital, through the open window of the apartment of her stern mentor, manager and guardian, Byron Tokofsky (Ronald Guttman), who demands for Hank not to influence his protegé in any way, shape or form.

Vanessa Cross (Pamela Bellwood) remains Byron's assistant long after their divorce, as she and Jazz Musician Solly Prinze (Matthew Ryan) each attempts to rescue Leslie from Byron's tyrannical control, Vanessa to look out for Leslie's best interests, Solly to attempt to free Leslie's heart of Byron, who plans to marry Leslie while on tour through Germany during the forthcoming concert season, at least to give her a chance to come of age.

Steven Hoyt (Joseph Kell) and Owen McLaglen (Robert Knepper) attempt to invalidate the contract which Byron has made on the underage Leslie's "behalf," as they work along with Bok (Kay Tong Lim) and Martin Trilby (Wayne C. Dvorak) at the concert hall, to prepare for Leslie's debut recital.

Whether or not Leslie appreciates all of this mounting attention bestowed upon her, as well as the efforts by many to protect her from the overbearing Byron, remains to be seen, but after Jessica befriends her, Leslie's life is about to take another turn because a body is found upon her piano bench, and her muse is arrested for murder.

Lieutenant Peter DiMartini (Jon Polito, also in his second appearance in this role) investigates this case of "A Murderous Muse," along with Jessica, who manages to sort through an array of shady business dealings, and to uncover a complex device used as the murder weapon, which she cleverly deactivates in time for a showdown with the perpetrator(s).

Michael White rounds out the cast as a TV Announcer, who reports upon unfolding events of maestro and protegé.

Extra points for the performances of Craig Wasson, Pamela Bellwood, and Joseph Kell.

Have always been quite fond of 'Murder She Wrote'. It is a fun and relaxing watch that makes you think as you try to unwind in the evening. If one wants more complex, twisty mysteries with lots of tension and suspense 'Murder She Wrote' may not be for you, but if you want something light-hearted and entertaining but still provide good mysteries 'Murder She Wrote' fits the bill just fine.

"A Murderous Muse" is a decent episode but not a great one. There are far better 'Murder She Wrote' episodes and also far worse. Not everybody will connect with it, the subject matter and central relationship between the victim and his protégé makes the episode not the most comfortable of watches, especially when the victim is one of the show's sleaziest ever. How Jessica gets involved is a head-scratcher too.

In terms of the mystery however, even though it's formulaic, "A Murderous Muse" is entertaining and with enough turns to keep one engrossed. The denouement is well executed, although the identity of the murderer was not really a shock, and the murder method is pretty ingenious.

The cast elevates things to a greater level too. Can't say anything bad about Angela Lansbury, while Ronald Guttman is a suitably loathsome sleazebag and Jenny Lewis is charming and touching. Craig Wasson, Joseph Kell and Robert Knepper are also solid as rocks, Wasson especially makes one care about his predicament as one of the episode's more sympathetic characters.

Production values as always are slick, stylish and suitably cosy. The music has energy and has presence but also not making the mistake of over-scoring, while it is hard to forget or resist the theme tune.

Writing is amiable and thoughtful, while the charm and tension of the cast's chemistry shine through greatly.

On the whole, decent but not great. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This episode finds Jessica Fletcher in New York and enjoying the classical music coming from both the street and from the apartment of fellow tenant Ronald Guttman and his trilby like protégé Jenny Lewis.

She learns later that the street music is courtesy of Craig Wasson who was Lewis's biological father who gave up all claim to his young daughter after his wife died to Guttman.

Guttman may be a great talent but he's a selfish lout and as is the way with mysteries there a quite a few people who would want to do him in. And done in he is with a rifle shot as he played the piano. Wasson looks good for it to police lieutenant Jon Polito

But for the watchful eye of Angela Lansbury the really clever way the murder was set up would have been undetected.

Nobody gets anything over JB Fletcher.
