A better effort
7 July 2023
Victor looks to have died from a heart attack, but on further investigation, it appears he was poisoned with arsenic. Accusations start flying, and his wife, Christy (Christine Chatelain), is dubbed a black widow when information about her past relationships surfaces. It's more complicated than a simple case of killing husbands to get insurance money, however. An art forgery ring might also have something to do with Victor's death as it's an enterprise flush with arsenic it turns out. In addition, Victor's long-time friend, Debra (Christina Cox), appears overly eager to shut down the gallery while his employee, Lawrence (Carlo Marks), is pleased that he now has a chance to exhibit his photography.

I have seen a few Halley Dean episodes and found them so-so and moderately diverting, but this one is a better effort with a sharper focus, some good characterisation and a killer twist. And Halley is less annoying with her bossiness and blank stare.
