Murder, She Wrote (CBS, 1984 - 1996) spawned a variety of merchandise besides TV tie-ins; Recipe for Murder was the third of four mystery jigsaw puzzle games produced by Paul Lamond Games (c. 1984)

#murder she wrote #murder‚ she wrote #jigsaw #jigsaw puzzle #not a book #personal collection #paul lamond games #cbs #jessica fletcher #angela lansbury #1984 #(I'm not convinced on the date; it's the copyright year on the box but that's presumably referring to the show title and image of Angela #which would of course be copyrighted to '84 when the series had its debut. whether these jigsaws would have been mass produced in the #first year of the show (and incidentally Paul Lamond Games' first year of operation) seems to me altogether less likely #however I've been unable to find a reliable suggestion for when these puzzles may have been made and all online sources follow the #copyright year of '84 so.. i guess i shall too)
