After MURDER SHE WROTE - The Series, Finished in 1996 after 12 Years and nearly 300 Episodes, Angela Lansbury returned in 4 Murder She Wrote TVMs, with THE CELTIC RIDDLE being the last.This time around Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) is solving another mystery - this time in the picturesque surroundings of Ireland, Where she has been invited to attend an old acquaintance's recorded last Will & Testament, Where each family member (who are really unlikeable and don't get on at all) along with Jessica are given clues, which supposedly are used to uncover a secret treasure, and as this is Murder She Wrote, a dead body falls at JB's feet within a matter of minutes so Jessica as always investigates.Not bad, But I can't help but feel that this is a 60 Minute TV episode stretched out to feature length with a lot of padding along with some very shaky Irish accents but nevertheless it's enjoyable enough with another great performance from Lansbury.*** out of *****

** Yupp, here be spoilers **Recap: Jessica Fletcher (Lansbury) is called on to come to Ireland for the last will of an old acquaintance. The man was somewhat wealthy and the family that is left mostly rather greedy, except for youngest daughter Breeta (Potts). When each member of the family, and most of the staff is given a clue, sealed in envelope a icy tension arises. According to the will, all clues must be bought together, and will then lead the way to a very valuable treasure. Soon thereafter one after one that was given a clue is murdered, and the tension rises still more. Only Fletcher, with some small aid of local police, is calm enough to start to figure out what secrets lies beyond the clues and murders...Comment: A typical Murder She Wrote - story, set in beautiful and mystic Ireland. The story is good, not revealing anything before hand only letting up small clues along the way. The final answer is not given until the ending scene. That, however, is the movies greatest weakness. The resolution of it is actually amateurish, the murderer acting stupid and other events happening just with a little too much timing. And the icy tension that existed before suddenly vanishes. But then again, one does not watch this for the ending scene but for the mystery. And the mystery is good as mentioned above. Good cast with some known names, Lansbury and Flanigan for example, that acts well. This is not a movie to remember though, but it might entertain for an evening...5/10

With strong performances by all players, this was one of the best episodes of "Murder She Wrote". It was refreshing to watch a "Who done it" that wasn't easily solved in the first 10 minutes of the movie.Fionnula Flanagan's character, Margaret, kept Jessica's eyes rolling with her finger-snapping and explosive temper. The setting was beautiful giving one a sense of Ireland and it's people. Let's have more episodes, please.

Just checked out this latest issue of Murder, She Wrote. As it was airing, I clicked over to IMDB to clarify Lansbury's age of 78. She's an amazing actress and it is clear that she is doing what she enjoys. The setting was okay, but the plot was formulaic and predictable enough for the franchise. Nonetheless, great to see Angela Lansbury is still making great TV that even my kids can watch.
