When forced to work together to solve a murder, the duo provide a light
touch of comedy with their snippy comments to each other.
The murder in this movie takes place at a gourmet convention. Of course, Henry is already attending and has two rooms, but it turns out his assistant is unable to go. When he offers one of Maggie's co-workers the option to take his assistant's "already paid for" room at the conference, he ends up getting roped into taking Maggie instead. Maggie's police captain believes it will provide the perfect opportunity for Maggie to take a much needed and earned vacation. Henry offers the room to Maggie and she somewhat reluctantly agrees to go when she is assured they would not be going as a couple, just in tandem to the same place.
There is no way either of them could know one of the other conventioneers will be murdered. Once again, Henry is immediately involved because he is the one to see the body floating in the mineral baths from his balcony.
A Healthy Place to Die Synopsis
Kathleen Evans is a magazine writer who doesn't hesitate to reveal nasty personal information about the notable people she features in her articles. She previously taped an unflattering video that she shared, along with her article, on a popular actress and convention guest, Danielle Stark. When aired, that article and video had cost Danielle her acting contracts for 3 years.
Kathleen's tenancy to tell all, makes her a very unpopular attendee,
especially after Danielle publicly confronted her at one of the convention's
meet and greet events. When Danielle stormed out of the room, the
confrontation continued when Danielle's agent took it up, demanding that
Kathleen leave the convention.
It comes as no surprise that Kathleen is the murder victim.
Identifying the killer is much harder. Both Detective Price and Henry Ross witnessed the confrontational scene which initially gave them their first set of suspects. But, that would be too easy!
Be sure to watch how Henry Ross uses his skillet in this episode. It gives any cook a new appreciation for their cookware. It is close to the end of the movie, so you will need to watch the whole movie to see his unique cookware skill.
