Okay, then. Pay attention. Jessica Fletcher lives in Cabot Cove, a place so small that everybody who lives there is related to everybody else who lives there. Right?
So there's this murder in one of the two motels there. One, the one where regular people stay, Hill House, and the other where sleazy people stay, the Starlight Motel.
Jessica decides to do her usual busy-body stuff and investigate the murder. She goes to the bar at the Starlight, pretending to be a barfly, to do her sleuthing. Like the bartender isn't going to recognize Cabot Cove's resident famous person, J. B. Fletcher, in a town so small that there aren't even any traffic lights? C'mon!
My own hometown has a population of about 4,000, and there are three traffic lights. Most everybody there is related to most everybody else there, and even if people aren't related or don't actually know everybody else, they're all recognizable to each other. You could no more "disguise" yourself and duck into a bar (or anywhere else in town) and get away with it than you could grow wings and fly.
Jessica solves the murder, of course, because she always does, even when it's not in Cabot Cove.
