Yes, you eventually discover the answer to the mystery and who the killer is - but along the way there are a lot of questions that aren't addressed.Alexandra Kent witnessed her aunt's murder when she was a young girl. Her mother was then declared insane and committed. So just who finished raising Alexandra? After all, she was only 6 or 8 years old when this happened. Was she raised by Dr. Sam Bradburn(Christopher Bondy)? I don't recall it ever saying.We then move forward to Alexandra Kent Lambeth(Kristy Swanson), as a beautiful, blonde woman, probably in her twenties, who is in the midst of divorcing her husband, Dan (Charles Edwin Powell). Why she is divorcing him we never really learn, other than he's apparently just not a very nice guy.Alexandra has decided to move back into the old Brownstone, a huge castle of a house, where she lived as a little girl with her mother and aunt. Why she has decided to do this is never made very clear.What is even more amazing is - the house has apparently sat there unoccupied ever since the aunt was killed. Eventually, we learn that some things were left in the house over the ensuing years, despite the fact they are what led to the murder and were things the killer did not want known. So why didn't the killer remove these things--the killer knew about them.I also found it odd that someone would just let a house sit and pay taxes on it year after year. Was the house never rented? Was it never up for sale? Again, we don't know--but the impression is that it was not occupied during any of that time.What is even more surprising is that her husband Dan, apparently is the one who has been paying Ed, the construction guy, to do work on the house.Dan puts a lock on the bank accounts and Alexandra is frozen out. So here she is, with no money to even pay for groceries. Dan also seems to have some kind of lock on the gallery she has, and he puts Alex's friend, Gina(Marianne Farley), who also works at the gallery in charge. I didn't understand that part of it.Then we have Dan turn up one night in Alex's house - Ed gave him a set of keys, which he turns over to Alex, as I recall. Next we have Gina in the house - now how did she get in? Well, we never find out. I mean was the door unlocked, she had a spare key, or what? Characters seem to always be able to just come and go. Nobody ever knocks or rings the door bell.Things like this kept me a bit distracted.We have the creepy construction guy, a suspicious soon to be ex-husband, a chummy female friend, a caring fatherly type, and a young doctor who is interested in Alex, as our cast of suspects.The answer to what happened was rather unbelievable--that anyone's memory could be THAT altered. It also struck me as a lot for the character of the first victim to have done, and some pieces never really fit.4 stars.
