Murder At The Marathon

I liked the second story in this episode better than the first one. It had more intrigue and was one more people could relate to, a simple mystery how a guy the New York City marathon could be murdered in front of spectators without anyone seeing how it was done? First tests indicate cyanide but then it looks more carbon monoxide. The CSI team, headed by Mac and Stella, work with one piece of evidence and go from there.

Danny and Lyndsay are among the investigators on the case that opens the show, featuring a bizarre vodka company party where the booze is served in ice bottles and the model for the night is discovered stabbed and killed with some icicle-like wound. This is a little too far out, which is why I preferred the other murder over this one.

This show features a lot of play-on-words, too clever and too humorous for CSI people but I'm not complaining. The puns and such are fun to hear. Almost everyone here has at least a few "smart remarks" such as "oooh, that's cold" as they look at the victim murdered with the icicle or "I'll bet you gave him a run for his money" talking to a marathoner who hated the victim. Everyone is a comedian.
