The defining moment in Detective Karen Mitchell's life was when she realized that her father was a serial killer. But with her youth and inexperience, the traumatized young woman was slow in reporting him to the police, allowing the father to murder two more victims. Now, the pendulum has swung to the other side where Karen is so obsessed with her work that she lives a monastic life dedicated solely to her homicide cases.
When a clone of the Hades killer resurfaces in Boston, Karen establishes phone contact with the killer. Dr. Aaron Kade, the police psychiatrist, is even envious of how effective Karen has bonded with the killer during the conversations. It slowly dawns on Karen that she is the link between the current serial killer and the case that brought down her father.
The screenplay for "Willed to Kill" was well-constructed, and it included lively dialogue among the police officers and the people interacting with Karen. There was a good set of possible suspects emerging as Karen worked the case with her partner and ex-fiancé, Gavin McNabb.
Actress Sarah Jane Morris was terrific as Karen. She conveyed the manic energy of the detective who is so quick on the trigger that she has been labeled a serial killer herself. There was a good romantic connection between Karen and media specialist Mark Hanson, who is subject to Karen's quick-thinking mind when, in a heart beat, she has him in handcuffs and under arrest when she finds his behavior suspicious.
This was a carefully crafted thriller with a strong central character who never questioned her choices in pursuing the truth at all odds and all costs.
