Summary

Deadly Medicine

In Florida for the funeral of Portia Shelby, a former neighbor from Cabot Cove, mystery sleuth Jessica Fletcher and her old friend Dr. Seth Hazlitt discover that an apparent death from natural causes is not always what it seems. Potent pills were discovered among Portia's heart medications, a toxic combination that any physician or pharmacist would have warned her against. But who delivered the lethal dose? Could it be the builder whose beachside development she opposed? The sexy neighbor with a personal grudge? The mysterious restaurateur who may be a mobster? Or the victim's handsome husband?

With the help of a feisty group of young-in-spirit retirees, Jessica tracks down the clues in the residential community of Foreverglades—with a side trip to Key West. Now it's up to her to detect who prescribed the fatal treatment.
