Jessica Fletcher is back home in Cabot Cove where she enjoys a lovely dinner with her artist friend Simon Thane, his wife Elenor Thane and fellow admirers. Unfortunately, he ends up dead before the end of the night. He had been working on a top secret painting that even his wife hasn't seen yet...and the painting ends up missing. Will Jessica find the missing portrait, mystery model and the murderer?
This was a classic Murder, She Wrote and Jessica along with local sheriff Amos Tupper (Tom Bosley) get write to looking for clues, combing the crime scene and going through the potential suspects who include a suspicious part-time house keeper and a nomadic handyman. Amongst all the crime solving is a little boy in want of a dad and a bike.
Not as much star power as some of the other season three episodes but still totally worth seeing!
