What Season 7 of Murder, She Wrote

Jessica Fletcher is a retired English teacher who, after being widowed in the early fifties, begins writing mystery novels in Cabot Cove, a Maine town. Soon she is caught up in murders that happen in her community, elsewhere in the United States, and even abroad. The conflicts arrive in very different forms: a bribery and perjury charge, a manuscript attributed to Mark Twain, a novel she must deliver with a broken arm, or a trip to Nashville full of infidelity and greed. Dennis Stanton, an insurance investigator, leads several of the cases, while Jessica crosses paths with police officers such as Harry McGraw and Sheriff Metzger.
