R.I.P. Angela Lansbury (October 16, 1925 - October 11, 2022)

I have been taking a break from blogging, but I want to take some time to share my thoughts on the passing of Angela Lansbury.

With a career spanning more than seven decades, Angela Lansbury means many things to different people. I had heard of her when I was growing up, but it wasn't until earlier this year that I became a fan. It started with my love of cozy mysteries. I love cozy mystery books and movies, but there are times when I have only a short period of time and I want to fill it with a complete cozy mystery that isn't more than an hour. That's where Murder, She Wrote comes in. I remember watching the pilot episode earlier this year and becoming immediately hooked on the show.

The Hallmark Channel airs episodes almost daily, but I like watching them in order starting from the beginning, so I started watching them on Peacock. Recently, Murder, She Wrote moved to the premium version of that channel, but thankfully all 12 seasons are streaming for free on The Roku Channel. So that's where I watch it nowadays.

It is clear to me that Murder, She Wrote would not be nearly as successful without Angela Lansbury as the amateur sleuth, Jessica Fletcher. She is the reason why I continue to watch it and will continue to do so  for years to come. 

Thank you, Angela Lansbury, for the joy, comfort, and coziness you have brought to my life even if it did take me all these years to catch on. May you rest in peace.
