"Nan's Ghost" Parts 1 and 2
Episodes 12.6 and 12.7 (Nov. 2 and Nov. 9, 1995)
- Rod Taylor plays Inspector Rory Lanahan in a two-part story set in
an old Irish castle, where legend has it that there is a ghost and a hidden
treasure. Of course, that's a perfect recipe for murder, and there are
plenty of them in this episode. But the intrigue doesn't stop there. Inspector
Lanahan -- allegedly on holiday -- really is in town to investigate a money
laundering scheme. Plus, he's attempting to woo the widow who runs the
castle.
-
- In Part 1, Jessica arrives at the castle with Rory, and they immediately
become embroiled in the mysterious circumstances involving the death of
Nan, a shopkeeper's daughter who held clues to the hidden treasure.
- Jessica's snooping, however, lands her in the castle's dungeon. Rory
rescues her at the beginning of Part 2 and again at the end of Part 2 as
she confronts the culprit in Nan's -- and many other -- murders.
-
- "Nan's Ghost" earns a spot among the dozen or so "must-see"
episodes listed by The Definitive Guide to "Murder, She Wrote"
Web site. That's high praise considering there were 264 episodes of this
long-running mystery series. The site also notes that "Nan's Ghost"
features the series' highest body count.
