La signora in giallo

Un'insegnante d'inglese in pensione, Jessica B. Fletcher, dopo essere rimasta vedova intorno ai cinquant'anni del marito Frank, diventa quasi per caso una scrittrice di successo. Nonostante la fama e la fortuna ottenute, Jessica continua a vivere una vita semplice e salutare, risiedendo nel piccolo paese di Cabot Cove, sulla costa del Maine, e coltivando le sue vecchie amicizie, che la portano spesso in giro per il mondo. La signora Fletcher avrà a che fare con una serie di omicidi che ne risvegliano l'insaziabile curiosità, portandola a risolvere i casi della più varia natura.
