User Reviews

Nice episode!

I like the show "Without a Trace" so by default I enjoy most of these episodes, and I feel "Silent Partner" is one of the better ones. The man who goes missing is a businessman, who investigators soon discover has been leading a sort of double life, as well as having various complicated factors which might lead him to run away or be a target. As always the team of 5 is wonderfully acted and their characterisation is top-notch. The guest stars are also good. As usual it's a really interesting missing person storyline, but what I liked in particular about this one was the excellent ending, the good use of music and then the possible twist...made for a pretty cool episode.
