Lovers and Other Killers

While in Seattle for a series of lectures, Jessica is drawn into a dangerous case involving young secretary David Tolliver accused of killing his wealthy older lady friend Allison Brevard.

An intriguing addition to MSW with an emphasis on characterisation. There's more depth in that regard, especially Andrew Steven's who plays a young student. He works as a secretary for Jessica. He's quite charming, probably too much so - there's something creepy about him. He suspected by the Lieutenant, played by Greg Morris ( Mission Impossible), as a killer of an old lady and possibly a younger student. But Jessica believes him innocent, and gets pushed down the stairs for her troubles (snooping around). The ending is quite ambiguous in regard to this young secretary - his face expression darkens.

Quite a serious-toned and darkly entry, love and other killers is quite a departure to the lighter entries and is quite an engaging watch.
