In praise of Angela Lansbury and Jessica Fletcher

Alexandra Petri has a mostly-serious piece here about Angela Lansbury and her famous detective role.
Unlike Sherlock Holmes, the escapist fantasy of a detective who is so absolutely intelligent that he can be as rude and dismissive of others as he likes, Jessica Fletcher in the hands of Lansbury was the escapist fantasy of a detective so absolutely intelligent that she never had to be rude, ever.
