“The Corpse Flew First Class” is the twelfth episode of Murder, She Wrote’s third season and features a murder that takes place on an airplane. Like Agatha Christie’s Death in the Clouds, which stars Hercule Poirot, it’s a classic “whodunit” mystery where a small group of people are trapped together and become suspects in a murder investigation. Many episodes of Murder, She Wrote remain enjoyable and fascinating even today, over thirty years later. “The Corpse Flew First Class,” originally broadcast thirty-eight years ago, perfectly illustrates why the series is still considered one of the best whodunit shows ever made.
