When the investment banker Jason Sands is found tortured and dead inside a secret room, the CBI team investigates the case. Patrick Jane meets the widow Jennifer Sands at the funeral and feels a kind of connection with her. Further, he feels that she seems to be afraid of the family lawyer Michael Bonnet. They have a new meeting and Jennifer discloses that her husband was bankrupted and had sold all their assets, and she had just been informed by Bonnet at the funeral. The CBI continues the investigation and Jane and Lisbon meet Jason's mistress Adrianna Jonovic in his yacht. She gives some leads to the CBI but out of the blue Jennifer's daughter Julie is abducted and the kidnappers demand a 10-million-dollar ransom in diamonds. Who may be Jason's killer?
"Ladies in Red" is a great episode of "the Mentalist". The plot has many false leads and twists, but as usual Jane uses his power of observation to resolve the murder case and find the diamonds. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Ladies in Red"
