Featured review
A locked room mystery.
Jessica returns to New Orleans, she arrives right in the middle of Mardi Gras, only to discover an error in her hotel booking. With nowhere to stay she goes in search of distant cousin Cal. She arrives at his place to find a fancy dress Party, Cal is said to be in the costume of Cyrano de Bergerac, who is seen entering a room where Johnny Blaze is. Johnny is discovered dead, with the name Cal written in blood beside him, giving Lieutenant Edmund Cavette enough evidence to arrest Cal. Jessica is convinced Cyrano de Bergerac was not Cal.
The story is pretty good, feels similar to the first episode of Murder she wrote 'The Murder of Sherlock Holmes,' death at a fancy dress party, although the format is very different. The episode certainly looks good, some of the costumes are superb, particularly the skeleton, that's fabulous. I loved the ending, it's a very cleverly formed conclusion. The performances on the whole are good, although I found Lisa Langlois (Kitty) a little wooden. A shame the charismatic George DiCenzo (Johnny) got bumped off so soon.
At least they had the decency to make Cal a distant relative, as that family tree is going to get enormous.
Pretty good. 7/10
