These fictional Jessica Fletcher novels were a hit in Cabot Cove

  NBC/ Universal

If you had to name the most famous fictional author, we'd bet Jessica Fletcher would come to mind. She was loved in Cabot Cove and across the country, as her mystery novels were mentioned in all 12 seasons of Murder, She Wrote. Fletcher's works were adapted into movies and plays in the small town. Here are a few!

The Umbrella Murders

Were they murdered with an umbrella? Or was the murder covered up? (since umbrellas cover you). Great wordplay by Fletcher, as always.

Murder at the Inn

Apparently, you're not even safe at an Inn during vacation!
