This episode departs slightly from Sandford's usual format, as he goes back in time for part of the novel to detail Davenport's first case as a detective. I got quite a long ways into it before I realized there were no scenes from the POV of the killer. Oh boy, I thought, it's really going to be different! But no, about 150 pages in we get some flickerings, and when the scene shifts back to the present day there's the killer. From that point pretty much as usual, although what I did like was how Davenport's colleagues gang up together to prevent him personally from notching up another kill.
