Featured review
Despite the voodoo angle, it's not as silly as I'd expected.
Jessica is in New Orleans doing some research about voodoo for one of her murder mysteries. And, as you ALWAYS expect, someone Jessica knows is murdered and someone she cherishes is blamed for the killing...and she figures it all out by the end of the story.
While the plot does involve voodoo, fortunately, the show isn't full of hokey mumbo-jumbo. Instead, it's more a tale about organized crime as well as about an attempted shakedown.
Normally, I give episodes of this series scores of 7 or above. The reason I didn't in this case is that the secondary plot involving a supposed illegitimate daughter claiming a part of the estate is because it was handled VERY poorly. While clearly this involved fraud, betrayals and some serious legal issues, it's all just ignored at the end....and it's just left dangling and is handled like it was no big deal....which it CLEARLY was. Odd that they'd include a secondary plot and then not even bothering to hash it out well.
