Memories of Cabot Cove: On Location in Mendocino with Murder, She Wrote - Paperback

by Jain Lemos (Introduction by), Barbara Reed (Author)

Welcome to Cabot Cove, a fictional town created for the long-running television series, Murder, She Wrote. We know it as Mendocino, a picturesque coastal village in Northern California, a unique setting with that special, small-town feel. In the 1980s, the show's producers selected the area to represent their Maine hamlet, where all sorts of mysterious characters congregate with murder on their minds.

When asked about Mendocino in an interview with the Mendocino Beacon, actress Angela Lansbury said, "I fell in love with the place. I mean, how could you not? It is so beautiful and the people are wonderful. The town is like stepping back in time, and I loved the sense of community there. It was a joy to be there and work on the show."

In this photographic chapbook by former Mendocino innkeeper, Barbara Reed, you'll see some of the Hollywood stars and humble locals who helped create these Memories of Cabot Cove. It will inspire you to visit Mendocino to look for clues about the many locations that are featured in the show.
