A plastic surgeon with a temper supposedly kills his wife (we don't see any crime in the introduction, but it's assumed). Both he and his wife were adulterers, so it's hard to be sympathetic to either. She also was on drugs. All we know - for awhile - is that the woman is missing. The doctor is putting up posters and everything pretending to be a concerned husband, but the sincerity is lacking. He's portrayed as a cold, nasty guy.
If he did it, how and where is the body? Those questions take up the entire show, so it drags a bit here and there. Sometimes that happens. They can't all be fascinating stories. One thing that took away from the "whodunnit" atmosphere is that there only was one suspect. It was like a watching a "Columbo" episode.
This one had a different scenario at the end. Since Goren was able to get his man in the Interrogation Room, he volunteered to go in court and be a witness, confident he could bait his man enough to incriminate himself. This was a little far-fetched. As anyone noticed how they always make the defense lawyer almost useless against our guys? Well, at least it's a switch from normal TV fare over the years.
