Before the weekend\u2019s festivities at Castorbrook Castle even get off to a start, Jessica discovers the body of ladies\u2019 maid Flavia Beckwith. Neither Lord nor Lady Norrance seems too upset by the maid\u2019s tragic death at their home, which makes Jessica very suspicious. The local police would love to rule Flavia\u2019s death an unfortunate accident, but Jessica thinks the evidence points to murder. Even George agrees with the police that Flavia\u2019s death seems to be accidental. Although Jessica deals in fiction, she is no stranger to investigating real murders. When death strikes the castle again, it\u2019s not surprise that Jessica decides to get to the bottom of the mystery, with our without the help of her friend George.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love this series of cozy mysteries, and the setting and plot of <strong>Murder of a Blue Blood <\/strong>would make Agatha Christie proud. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the book and found this to be my least favorite of the books in a while. It\u2019s still a quick enjoyable read, especially for fans of the series. However, some inconsistencies in the narrative (Jessica says she hasn\u2019t met the date of one of the characters and then immediately recognizes her in a subsequent scene. Jessica expresses concern that she and her special friend George Sutherland aren\u2019t seeing eye-to-eye on a few things related to the investigation, but then later reminisces about how well they\u2019ve been getting along) and in the behavior of the characters compared to prior books took away from my enjoyment of this installment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The castle is filled with interesting characters, with plenty of motives for murder. While the police seem to be fixed on one suspect, Jessica keeps digging and asking questions to get to the truth of the two deaths and how they could be connected. I\u2019m glad to see that Jessica is as observant and keen of an investigator as ever. However, she\u2019s not her usual outspoken self when she feels the need to keep some of her ideas regarding the investigation to herself when they don\u2019t agree with George\u2019s theories. That isn\u2019t the spirited, confident Jessica that I have come to love in these books. George isn\u2019t as likeable in this installment as he usually is, either. His strong feelings for Jessica are evident, but he doesn\u2019t seem as open to Jessica having her own opinions on the investigation if they are contrary to his own. The ending is upbeat and Jessica and George part on great terms, but for me, something was missing and the two didn\u2019t seem to have the easy banter and camaraderie as they have in prior books. I still love the series and like this book, but it isn\u2019t my favorite of Jessica\u2019s adventures.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/20893401-murder-she-wrote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em>\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Christine<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4_star_blog.jpg?resize=165%2C60\" alt=\"4_star_blog\" width=\"165\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00INIJJDK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00INIJJDK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9780698145016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9780698145016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9780698145016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Jessica_Fletcher_Murder_She_Wrote_Death_of_a_Blue_?id=sipBAwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-14250\" data-postid=\"14250\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-14250 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the newest mystery in the USA Today bestselling series, Jessica Fletcher is invited to ring in the New Year with British aristocracy.
