Anecdotes
Archie Miles' name is a play on the name of Miles Archer, Sam Spade's partner in Le faucon maltais (1941).

Gaffes
Jerry Orbach plays "Harry McGraw," but the name pained on the window of his office is "Charles B. McGraw." Charles McGraw was a tough guy actor of the postwar era.

Citations
Harry McGraw: Look, Mrs. Fletcher, why don't you take some advice? Why don't you devote that boundless energy of yours to needlepoint or a bridge club?
Jessica Fletcher: Eh, I tried that. It's precisely the reason why I wrote my first book: I was bored out of my mind.

At least we get Harry.

Jessica had taken the unusual step of hiring a Private investigator, to look into a historic case, the Danbury murder. Having no luck with contacting Judge Lambert, Archie Miles seemed her only option. Unfortunately Archie is murdered, prompting his partner Harry McGraw to compete with Jessica to solve the case.

I see others consider this story quite highly, and while I like the story, I find the execution of it rather messy, it's a little muddled in parts, and a little paint by numbers at the conclusion, the ending was a tad silly.

Praise though for introducing the character of Harry McGraw, Jerry Orbach really did perform well, a great on screen chemistry with Lansbury. Harry apart, I found the characters rather bland, somewhat unappealing, as always Lansbury shines through. 6/10
