Jessica, Seth, Sheriff Mort and his wife Maureen go to Hollywood to compete on a trivia game show in Murder Most Trivial. When a show crew member is killed, Jessica and her gang investigate.
The Maine visitors are staying in a rundown mansion soon to be opened as a bed and breakfast. The new owners, Jessica’s niece and her husband, have a mystery to solve there as well.
I grew up and have always lived about 50 miles from Los Angeles so I can attest to the accuracy of the tourist stops the gang visits. There are still some almost derelict Beverly Hills mansions too. Combining both in a traditional Murder She Wrote mystery is a fun idea that is well executed.
Murder Most Trivial is an enjoyable and relaxing way to spend an afternoon seeing behind the scenes of a television production while solving two intriguing mysteries. 4 stars and recommended to series fans.
