I'm starting to see why my mum liked this show... It's on every Saturday all day on 5 USA, first of, and secondly, it is rather entertaining. This delightful lady, who writes murder mysteries, always walks into a real life murder and not so surprisingly she helps out to solve it. It is entertaining, and the storylines are very well written.
