First “Murder, She Wrote” Festival to take place May 4-5 in Mendocino

MENDOCINO, Ca. 4/5/24 – In 1984, Mendocino was chosen as the filming location for what would become one of the most iconic, nationally syndicated murder mystery shows of all time: “Murder, She Wrote.” 

The charming, cozy mystery starred Angela Lansbury, who died in 2022. “Murder, She Wrote,” ran on television from September 1984 until May 1996. The show was based around mystery fiction writer Jessica Fletcher, who helped solve murders in her free time. Fletcher’s home was Cabot Cove, a fictional town in Maine.
