Helen
survives the deadly Louisiana swamp and the attacking alligator. But
her troubles are not over. While she and her team have found out more
about the mysterious “water” and that it is being transported
through New Orleans, they come to realize it is not a magic elixir.
Helen
is shocked when it seems there may be a mole, or at least a terribly
deceived person, at the highest levels of government. How can she and
those left on her team smoke him out?
Bauer
is pressing forward. Even though he has lost the aid of Alistar, he
has found a new operative to do his dirty work. She is a mystery
woman and Bauer is unsure of the future.
The
very last paragraph of this episode is a shocker and turns the tables
on what we readers thought we knew. I am waiting anxiously for the
next episode.
This
episode does not have as much action as the last one nor does it move
the story along as far. We do find out a few intriguing facts that
help us understand what is going on. But we are also given a few more
mysteries to be solved in the next episode.
People
who like 1940s style mystery and intrigue will enjoy this series. The
dialog is fun. When was the last time you heard “peepers” for
eyes? How about having a “gas” for having fun? The characters are
well crafted too. The style of writing reminds me of the serialized
stories of decades ago.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
You
can read my reviews of the previous episodes: Date with Death, The Dark Pool, Blood Brother, Fatal Addiction, The Devil's Eyes, and The Dead Can Talk.
