Small town horror: Amateur detective Jessica Fletcher, played by Angela Lansbury, encounters a shockingly large number of killings in Murder, She Wrote The idyllic seaside town of Cabot Cove looks at first glance like a pleasant and relaxing place to live. In fact, it is the murder capital of the world and far more dangerous than the most violent parts of the globe, including Honduras in Central America. Thankfully, it is just the fictional New England setting for popular TV series Murder, She Wrote. Amateur detective Jessica Fletcher, played by Angela Lansbury, encountered a total of 274 killings in the small town in Maine, despite it having a population of just 3,500.
