 While I enjoyed this one, it didn't really grab me. The cold case plot was unfocused and fell into the background a few times, there wasn't a lot of sleuthing on this particular case, but there wasn't really much they had to do.  I'm surprised this stayed a cold case, because all it took was a few pointed questions and it was solved.  Although I loved the premise of the case, it really wasn't satisfying to see it solved but I did enjoy it. I did like the side plot about Grace's friend out of contact and possibly missing, as well as the ongoing JENNIFER ISSUE. I cannot WAIT for her comeuppance.
