Jessica is back in Cabot Cove, primarily to learn why her Accountant Sam Bennett had been mishandling her financial affairs. Cabot Cove is troubled, someone has taken a lot shot at Sheriff Metzger.
Very good, I enjoyed this episode a great deal, it's good to see Jessica finally back in Cabot Cove, a local murder is always good, it means Metzger and Seth are present.
Pacing was a real strength, the story develops and builds well, it's almost half an hour before the murder occurs, that seems to be the new time frame.
It's another of those episodes where we see the tougher side to her character, when you compare her here to any early episode, her general character has become so much broader, she's no longer just the sweet writer.
Lou Keramides was an interesting character, it could have done with exploring his character a little more. Wings Hauser was excellent as Sam, he appeared in one of my favourite episodes, Reflections of The Mine, he played a big part here too, strong actor.
8/10.
