Even the detectives don't know just how sensitive this homicide of the wife of the
governor of Connecticut will turn out when they start investigating.
She's killed with a rock upside the head while at the boat moorings at Central Park Lake. The perpetrator was a contractor who was most favored for state business by her husband. That is because he shared her husband's deepest darkest secret about his sexual orientation.
This episode is of course based on the outing of James McGreevey of New Jersey. As I write this review now an out and proud gay man was elected Governor of Colorado. Adds a certain amount but not too much quaintness to the story. As the current administration proves, liberties and rights for minorities have to be guarded zealously.
The issues of the time are portrayed with dignity and compassion. Elisabeth Rohm gives one her best performances on the series in this episode.
