Jessica Fletcher anda group of her friends from Cabot Cove, Maine, take off for teh British Isles and end up at a castle in Scotland. It would be a great vacation -- except for the ghost. And the murders.

Scotland's most celebrated witch, executed long ago with a pitchfork through her heat, is said to haunt Inspector George Sutherland's family castle in the village of Wick. It's an intriguing tale and after a British book tour, Jessica accepts Sutherland's invitation to bring her Cabot Cove friends to the heather-covered Highlands. Indeed, after "roamin' in the gloamin'" with the handsome inspector, she spots a spectral woman in white in the gloomy castle. But Jessica's blood runs cold when she later finds a local lass executed in the same way as the legendary witch. Something is very vile in Wick. It's a case of evil, greed, and murder that pits Jessica Fletcher against a killer from this world--or maybe the next.

Jessica Fletcher is at her all time best with this one. Once again, she takes off for a little rest and relaxation and finds herself in the middle of a muder mystery that takes place in Scottland. If you like ghosts and castles, this one is a must read. If your a fan of the show, you'll love it. But if you not, this book will suck you into the world of Jessica Fletcher and her friends from Cabot Cove, Maine

When Jessica is asked by her love interest, George Sutherland, to come to his family castle in Wick, Scotland, Jess is thrilled. She invites some of her friends from Cabot Cove along too.
When Jessica arrives, she is greeted by a ghost. When an eccentric movie director wants to shoot there because of the ghost, it is all Jess can do to keep him off her back. But when a young girl is found slaughtered the same gruesome way the "ghost" was, the vacation is ruined.
Since Jessica is always investigating the murder, she has no time to spare with Sutherland. The reasons that I like this book are because you get your favorite Cabot Cove chararecters in an exotic setting. Second, the characters are all two dimevsional. A great read!

My mom got me into the Murders She Wrote books. This by far is the best one! I have read them all and this is my all time favorite. This is an awesome book to have. If you love mysteries you will love this book.

A must-read for any mystery lover. "The Highland Fling Murders" is a cozy mystery, which is best read on a cold, rainy night while the wind is howling outside the window. Eerie and suspenseful.

I think this book was really exciting to read. It's always fun to try and figure out who the muderer was, and wade through all the "red herrings" that try to distract you and give you a wrong lead. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys mysteries. This is the perfect book because you get a dose of mystery and adventure all in one! Josh B.

Jessica Fletcher is invited by her friend, George Sutherland, to visit his castle in Scotland. But the castle is rumored to be cursed by the witch executed centuries ago. Bizarre incidents happen one after another, and superstitious people blame George and his castle.

I like "Murder, She Wrote" TV series and I expected this novelization was also nice. But I am disappointed. This book's Jessica lacks the most important quality that makes her successful as a mystery writer and a sleuth; namely curiosity. Every time an incident happens, she dismisses it to enjoy her vacation. That's not an attitude of a sleuth. That's NOT Jessica Fletcher I like. Just an ordinary amiable lady.

And the truth is extremely easy to guess. I feel that the author deliberately keeps Jessica inactive to lengthen the story. Indeed, in the last 50 pages, Jessica gets suddenly active and easily solves the mystery. Disappointed.

Excellent! I was a little skeptical at first, but was wonderfully delighted. For those who loved the series, this is a great book!

Jessica travels to Wick, Scotland to visit her special friend George Sutherland. Wick is a beautiful village that's beauty is marred by rumors that the old castle owned by George Sutherland is haunted and is to blame for a series of unfortunate happenings. The mystery's plot is exciting,and the characters humorous and delightful. One of the best books in the series. You won't want to put it down!!!

I think this is a great book. Of course I loved the tv series so I have been loving the books.
