I really liked the beginning of the episode, it seemed like it was going to be a hell of a story. But the ending was absolutely horrible. Well, maybe not completely horrible. One of the cases was completely disappointing, and the other one was left open, so I would …

Manhunting by Jennifer Crusie is one of her earlier books (not that early, but predating Getting Rid of Bradley) and seems to have a lighter feel to it.

I wear my hair with shoulder length curls in the back. They are not spiraled, but hang as if they could be. When I want …

Not a bad episode. But not my favourite story. The story is believable, but it seems a bit strange to me how they realize things really just a second before they need them. And I would expect an experienced team to be able to figure out things ahead of …
