a very well done Joanne Kilbourn murder mystery

this is a Joanne Kilbourn mystery,of the continuing series of movies with Joanne Kilbourn(Wendy Crewson) as the main character.Basically,Joanne is a retired police officer,who finds herself knee deep in one mystery after another,involving murder.Technically,she aids the police in the investigation,although she does most of the work,and ends up solving the crime herself(with the help of the police).the police,at least in this movie,are represented mainly by Inpector Philip Millard,Joanne's old partner,played by Victor Garber.both Crewson and Garber are first rate actors,and work very well together.both are very credible in their respective roles,and add an extra air of legitimacy to the project.the rest of the cast is also strong.This movie is very suspenseful,has a lot of action,and some pretty violent and graphic(for a TV movie)scenes.the production value feels much higher than it probably is,a rare treat for a TV movie.there is certainly no "movie of the week" feel to this one.I really enjoyed it.i only wish we had more actors the calibre of Crewson and Garber in more movies.(Garber can be seen in the thrilling spy series "Alias",with Jeniffer Garner,and Crewson has been in some high profile American movies)both are underused and underrated in the film industry.Any way,enough prattling on.this movie gets a strong 8/10
