Rum and Razors (Murder, She Wrote)

From the moment Jessica Fletcher arrives at a four-star inn in sunny St. Thomas, she senses trouble in paradise. Owners Laurie and Walter Marschalk are in deep water over money troubles and competition from a big hotel nearby. Yet the gourmet food, and beautiful sunsets, chase away Jessica's concerns . . . until she finds Walter's throat-slit corpse at the edge of the lagoon. The island police think that a hot-tempered ex-employee is the killer. But for cool-headed Jessica it's time to unpack her talent for sleuthing . . . and discover if the serpent in this Eden is a slick business partner, a young travel writer, a rival hotelier, or even lovely Laurie Marschalk herself.
