There’s a fan theory about Murder, She Wrote that says that Jessica Fletcher committed all the murders herself and expertly framed other people for them. How else to explain why a prosperous middle-aged widow who lives in a small town in Maine encounters so many murders wherever she goes?
As a fellow writer, though, it’s obvious to me that each episode depicts Jessica’s writerly imaginings: “What if this person I just met was murdered? How might that work out?”
In the “Jessica kills them all” theory, surely it’s just as likely that someone else kills all these people and frames various people (like a Moriarty figure), while using Jessica Fletcher’s detective skills and credibility to convince people that the framed person did it.
But, yeah, the idea that all the murders occur in her own mind as murder stories if more likely than that she actually encounters that many murders herself.

The name of the show WAS “Murder She Wrote”. So writerly imaginings makes a lot of sense.
