Ultimately I found this one unsatisfying. I thought it was very enjoyable all the way through...until it got to the end and then I felt there had not been sufficient evidence to come to that conclusion. Some mysteries are like that. It seemed like a cheat to re-use a well known device. If it had been the first time I had seen that particular twist of plot, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. But I thought geeezzz, can't you come up with something more original?

It always bothers me a bit when the cast brought in for an episode are always the beautiful people -- young men with touseled curls and classicly handsome profiles, the standard good-looking calloused youth who laughs it all off, older men who all look quite a bit alike (confusing), never any older life-worn care-worn people who have seen a bit of life. Then the odd fellow out is a walking skeleton illustration. I would like it better if they stuck to the real world of murders and decectives and pathologists...and sometimes used fewer of the Hollywood-type finely chiseled bodies and faces. I understand they are trying to appeal to a certain audience, but still.
