The 37th entry in the Murder She Wrote series "Trouble at High Tide" takes us back to Bermuda where Jessica Fletcher is on vacation. Upon arrival, everyone is a bit concerned over murders resembling Jack the Ripper. When she stumbled onto a body at the party of her friend Judge Betterton, a mystery ensues to see if it's tied into the recent killings or something separate. With the help of the local authorities & her Scotland Yard friend, George Sutherland, a mystery ensues that is pretty muc...more
Mystery writer Jessica Fletcher is exhausted after her last book tour and happily accepts an acquaintance’s offer of a free beach cabin in beautiful Bermuda. Recently some young women have been murdered on the island by a killer who seems to be channeling Jack the Ripper. For Jessica, it still promises to be a peaceful vacation with nothing on her itinerary except some shopping, sightseeing, and lounging on the beach with a good book. However, while taking a stroll on the beach, Jessica discover...more

I never am disappointed by any of the "Murder, She Wrote" books. Anywhere Jessica goes, murder is sure to be there soon. Bermuda is no exception. Jessica is invited to spend a relaxing vacation in Bermuda, at the home of a U.S. judge. She arrives to find the island buzzing about a series of murders which apparently are the work of another Jack the Ripper killer. When the judge's niece is found on the beach (by Jessica) with her throat slashed, everyone assumes that she is the latest victim of th...more
Once again, Jessica Fletcher thrilled me with her intelligence, grit and sleuthing prowess. I always enjoy the Murder, She Wrote books and this one was no exception. And, the locale of beautiful Bermuda made it all the more interesting and delightful.

Jessica Fletcher is vacationing in Bermuda, at the invitation of federal judge Tom Betterton, when tragedy strikes. A member of the party is killed, it seems by the same Jack the Ripper imitator who has been terrorizing the island. Jessica's platonic pal George Sutherland has sent a party of Scotland Yard specialists to help the Bermuda police, and phones to ask her to consult with them. Naturally, Jessica's help enables the police to arrest two murderers.
I started this book last night and have easily read several pages. Jessica is staying at a friend's beach cottage in Bermuda and she is expecting long walks on the warm beach and reading a few books. What she is not expecting is trouble, which shows up on the beach near the cottage she is staying at.

I did skip and skim through this book thinking some parts might be too "thrilling" for me. In the book, Jessica Fletcher explains to someone that her mysteries are more character driven. I think that thought captures part of why I like Murder, She Wrote so much.
This is not a great work of literature, but if you are reading a "Murder She Wrote" book, you aren't looking for great literature, you just want a nice little story. That's exactly what you get here. I will be checking other books in this series out for sure.
Always a good read - a book for a lazy day when you just want to enjoy and read a good mystery set in a beautiful location. Time spent time with Jessica Fletcher are 'happy days'indeed.
Fun, easy vacation read. I'm a huge fan of the series and this really had the "feel" of the beloved TV series:-)
I always like the MSW mysteries when I want an easier read without a lot of violence and gore. Jessica Fletcher is like an old friend.
Another fabulous installment in the Murder, She Wrote series. This one was a little bit gorier than the usual story, but what can you expect with a Jack the Ripper-style slaying? Donald Bain added some really colorful characters in this story that made it very fun to read. My only complaint was that Jessica was following two mysteries--one wrapped up beautifully; the other seemed thrown together. However this was so minor I still loved the story.
2/2013 This was a fast read an like the tv series.
Much better then the last book in the series, it featured one of my favorite characters, the mystery was engaging with a nod to Jack the Ripper.
Reading a Murder She Wrote mystery is like putting on a favourite set of flannel pj's. I've read 37 of them and they are a comfortable, familiar read. You know exactly what to expect and you get it. The language is clean, although there was one swear word that jumped off the page being such an odd thing to see in a MSW. Jessica isn't hopping into bed with anyone and neither is anyone else. You have to guess whodunit. This is just a perfect book to curl up with for a day of pleasant, relaxing rea...more
fun read
Great Mystery....

I loved this book as I have enjoyed all of this series. The plot moves along at a nice pace and the characters stay true to the previous books. For the mystery lover these books are very satisfying.
Jessica Fletcher's latest case is another winner. There were some really good surprises in this latest caper, set on the island of Bermuda where some Jack the Ripper-like cases have been occuring. However, are they all committed by the same killer? A good read (pun intended.)
A good entry to the series, but not as fast paced as some of the others. A little slow at times as Jessica was often in meetings, at dinners, etc. Still, a nice summer read and I thought I had it figured out but was wrong! Looking forward to the next in this great series.
Always enjoy Jessica and the Murder She Wrote series but this one felt like it really dragged on and got on so many outside tangents. Of course, did not know the killer as usual until the end!
