The TV Gods have heard our prayers.
We love FOX’s Murder in a Small Town, but have been hoping the show would skew a little darker for some time now. Finally, with Tuesday’s next episode, our dark wishes have come true.
“Family Matters” sees Gibson reeling after a woman’s body is found in the woods, posed in an unusual fashion, and for once the audience is not privy to who’s behind it.
In fact, over the course of a tricky hour we are subtly presented with a series of characters (some of whom we are already familiar with from previous episodes, fyi) as potential suspects.
Could it be the toxic boyfriend of one of Holly’s friends? Or the retired boxer who runs the local gym? The school’s art teacher Mr Cummins is also acting a little creepy for our liking, and while we’re at it, local actor Roger Galbraith is not acting like himself. Or is he?
Gibson’s shock soon turns to panic when a second body turns up, complicating an already tense investigation, and leading Alberg and the crew to face the reality of a serial killer in their midst.
