The cast of "Bloodlines" is very interesting. In addition to several old-time actors (something "Murder, She Wrote" often had), the show also features Patrick Swayze's brother as well as Micky Dolenz's daughter.
For some inexplicable reason, Jessica is hanging out at a horse ranch in Virginia. It seems that the place is having financial troubles and they are pinning their hopes on two things...a race horse named Swift Prince as well as the upcoming marriage which will merge two stables. Unfortunately, there are massive problems with both....as well as a murder!
I thought it was interesting and not too surprising that they cast Mickey Rooney in the show, as he'd starred in several horse films, such as "National Velvet" and "The Black Stallion".
Overall, this is a decent but relatively unremarkable episode...not bad but also one that isn't among the best of the season...some of it was because the killer didn't really need to admit to anything. However, nice acting and a nice setting do help this one.
