天梯国语

　　本剧改编自同名小说，是一个社会派本格推理故事，讲述了刑警平良正太郎（吉冈秀隆 饰）追查1996年发生的一起杀人案件的过程。他在追踪潜逃两年的嫌疑人阿久津的踪迹、并深入调查杀人动机的同时，逐步接近事件背后的“真相”。当原本看似毫无关联的人物与线索，逐渐围绕着“某位嫌疑人”交织在一起时，一个令人意想不到的“社会黑暗面”也随之浮出水面。

 Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
