While I don't usually write a review for the "Murder, She Wrote" mysteries, I do rate them. I enjoy them, but regard them as light mysteries. However, for this one I saw a mistake on page 42 which really shocked me...

"But when Jefferson Davis, secretary of war in Lincoln's first cabinet..." What!!!!!!!

This is like saying, "When Adolph Hitler, secretary of war in Franklin Roosevelt's first cabinet...."

Jefferson was president of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and, as such, was Lincoln's enemy, as well as the enemy of the United States. However, Davis was secretary of war in President Franklin Pierce's administration (March 1853---March 1857).

Obviously, someone didn't do their homework (research).

As far as the story itself goes, this one was very different from previous books in the series, as not all concerns are wrapped up in the end, and may never be.
