I'll be the first to admit Murder, She Wrote didn't always get it right. This week we're looking at a weaker episode, one of at least four from the twelve season run that touches on indigenous American cultures. This one's probably somewhere in the middle in terms of sensitivity, so still quite yucky. It's probably the clunkiest mystery we've encountered thus far. We're talking boilerplate Scooby Doo.
