6. The long-running television series "Murder She Wrote" features the sharp-eyed novelist, Jessica B. Fletcher. What does the B. stand for in her name?

Answer: Beatrice

"Murder She Wrote" ran for twelve seasons from 1984 and finally ceased production in 1996, having maintained high ratings throughout its course. It starred Angela Lansbury as the sharp-eyed crime novelist Jessica Fletcher, who, along with her successful career as a mystery writer, also found herself solving various murders in her real life.

The murders were done without the orgy of violence seen in most murder mysteries in later times, so were quite easy to watch and to try to solve from the ease of one's lounge room. One of the nicest things about this show is that it also guest starred famous faces of the silver screen from times gone by, whom Hollywood had left, undusted, on the shelves of yesterday. We are informed of Jessica's middle name, Beatrice, in episode 4 of season one, "Hooray for Homicide".

Question by player Creedy
