Jessica heads to Las Vegas for a book convention, she agrees to check in on her friend's daughter Susan Hartley, who's working at a casino, and seeing one of the croupiers. If isn't long before Jessica is investigating the death of the casino manager.
It's a solid episode, it isn't a classic, but watchable and intriguing, The Las Vegas setting was a nice touch, and changed things up a little, plenty of glitz and glamour, you can almost smell the money there.
What was interesting, it was nice to see Jessica having to defend a no gooder for a change, Eddie is a thoroughly unlikeable character, he's a thief and a scoundrel, I'm not sure Jessica cared for him, but she does her best for him.
The first murder looks pretty realistic, and that mannequin isn't rigid m, which is so often the case.
I rated Howard Keel and Stephen Macht, but best of the lot was David Soul, who didn't have a particularly big part, but his charisma was very welcome here.
There was definitely a soul joke thrown in there, that was a nice touch.
Not a classic, but a good episode.
7/10.
