Jessica Beatrice Fletcher is a fictional mystery writer and amateur detective who featured on on the American TV series 'Murder, She Wrote', played by actress Angela Lansbury. The show ran for twelve seasons and subsequently in four TV movies. The character is said to be based on a combination of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple character and of another Christie character called Ariadne Oliver (from the Hercule Poirot mysteries).
A retired English teacher, Ms Fletcher lives in Cabot Cove, a coastal town in Maine. The relentless appearance of dead bodies in this little town has given rise to the term "Cabot Cove Syndrome". It's not a place to settle down - The New York Times calculated that almost 2% of Cabot Cove's residents died during the show's run. It's not a place to visit, either - more visitors to Cabot Cove died than residents.
