User Reviews

Minute traces

Critics of any kind including those who write reviews for IMDb are subject to all kinds of criticism themselves. It it's a bad review on something someone likes they will hear about it.

Two homicides are connected in a case that Vincent D'Onofrio and and Kathryn Erbe get for Major Case. The first victim is a woman in male drag found on the UN grounds by a diplomat. That guarantees Major Case will be there. She was not a performer of any kind, she was a food critic.

But the second victim is Alex Burns a rising young chef who is opening a new restaurant. He's disappeared, but there's enough traces of him to suspect there's a homicide for Goren and Eames. Minute traces to be sure.

Burns was married to Monica Keena, daughter of Chris Penn who is a well known chef with his own TV show. Let's say this whole family has issues.

Forensics plays a big part in solving this one as well as a con Goren runs on one of the cast.

The whole cast does a bang up job on this one.
