  "explanation" : "The Maine town of Cabot Cove, population 3,500, may have had the highest homicide rate of any place in the U.S. Online fans counted 274 murders over the course of 264 episodes. “Murder, She Wrote” star Angela Lansbury, who died in 2022 at age 96, was nominated for best actress in a drama series at the prime-time Emmys for every single year in the CBS hit’s 12-season run (from 1984 to 1996) — but shockingly never won.",
