May I take this opportunity to correct a long-standing canard about Murder She Wrote?
MSW's producers had a rule to which they studiously adhered throughout the series's run: No more than five (5) episodes per season are set in Cabot Cove ME, Jessica's home town. The rest of the time, she's on the road.
MSW ran for twelve seasons, which means that a total of sixty (60) murders occurred in Cabot Cove during that time frame - five in a given year would be average, maybe a little above, for a town that size, especially in the field of whodunit fiction, which is full of small towns with fairly high homicide stats.

Just wanted to clear that up for you all.
Thanks, Mike! But you know this is a myth that's going to have legs, like Cary Grant saying "Judy, Judy, Judy".....
