TONIGHT ON MURDER, SHE WROTE, we keep misplacing our umbrellas, eyeglasses, and manuscripts. 

Famed writer who might not have it anymore, Hemsley Post (Kenneth Mars) ends up dead after a posh NYC literary awards gala, and the suspects are multiple. We have, of course:

- The Wife (Diana Muldaur)
- The Guy Whose Book He Stole (Vincent Baggetta)
- The Sexy Opportunistic Editor (Morgan Brittany)
- The Lush of a Poet (Paul Sand)
- The Bitchy Queen Novelist Rival (Rex Reed)
- The Ambitious, Aspiring Amateur (Talia Balsam) 
- and The Dishy Breakout Smut Writer (Constance Forslund)

Frankly, it could be any and all of them, and we can all agree he had it coming. Amateur detective and mystery writer Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) must contend with keeping track of all of those suspects (when the law can't) and convincing the assistant district attorney (Pat Harrington Jr) that he's way off base. We also have Ron Masak in a pre-Sheriff Metzger appearance! 

With FOOTNOTE TO MURDER, it's an evening of bathroom punch-outs, bad sonnets, poorly chosen cigarette lighter designs, plagiarism, revolving doors, and subterfuge through optometry as only Murder, She Wrote can deliver.
