在铜江市，短短三个月内连续爆发了三起恶性案件：先是游客在城郊大黑山发现了江中漂浮着的残臂；随后，大学生路阳在家中不明原因死亡；紧接着，市青年企业家叶启明遭遇车祸不幸身亡。市局刑侦科的女刑警蒋梅与刚从省厅调来的沈峰奉命侦破这一系列案件。随着调查的艰难推进，案件背后残忍的杀戮、深藏的爱恨情仇以及错综复杂的关系渐渐显现，而血案背后的缘由也折射出物欲诱惑与扭曲心灵之间无法割裂的因果联系。
Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
