Linden deep in thought as usual
At this point, I have no idea who killed Rosie Larsen. I think that’s the point and though not being able to figure out this mystery taunts me, I’m going along with it. If this were the typical crime drama, it would be predictable and boring. We’d know who the killer was by the end of the hour and boom! End of story. This format (which I thoroughly enjoy) seems to lead you closer to the killer but somehow makes you second guess yourself.
My hunch about Jamie Wright (Eric Ladin) was on point. Yes he’s weasly, but not a traitor. Gwen (Kristin Lehman), on the other hand, seems like she has something up her sleeve. But I still don’t see what they or Councilman Richmond (Billy Campbell) have to do with Rosie’s death. She had no political affiliations nor did she seem to be involved with anything out of the ordinary that anyone knew about. So okay, she may have had a secret boyfriend, who may or may not be one of her teachers (ick!), but that’s just speculation. Seeing campaign signs in a place Rosie frequented doesn’t mean anything either. Does it?
As a fan of Lost, I giggle with glee whenever I see a former cast member of the show. Alan Dale (Charles Widmore on Lost) makes a surprising appearance. And to find out he’s Gwen’s father—oh, that raises a red flag or two. She has a senator for a father who apparently has some influence. But what influence, we’ve yet to see. The Killing has so many twists and turns popping out at every corner, you have to wonder what we’ll find out next.
What do we really know about Jasper?
The funeral director (Peter Hanlon) creeps me out. The entire time he’s speaking with the Larsens, I’m wondering when Stan (Brent Sexton) is going to deck the guy. Not only is it a difficult situation for the Larsens to deal with, but having a seemingly uncaring funeral director talking non-stop about details is more than I can take. I just don’t know how Stan and Mitch (Michelle Forbes) are handling Rosie’s death as well as they are. I’m surprised they aren’t both holed up at home in some sort of catatonic state. Eventually, they will reach their breaking point. That’s what I’m waiting for. Oh, and what is it that Stan doesn’t do anymore, exactly? Could his old ties be the reason Rosie was killed? What more don’t we know about the Larsens?
It is obvious Sterling (Kacey Rohl) knows something about Rosie’s secret boyfriend, yet she’s afraid to say anything. That makes me wonder if he possibly could have been a man in some position of power—hint, hint. I don’t want to think Richmond has anything to do with this murder, but I just don’t know. It seems that anyone could have done it, yet none of them probably are guilty of it. Confused much?
Does it seem odd to anyone else that Holder (Joel Kinnaman) is always doing the dirty work? I know he’s taking over for Linden (Mirielle Enos) but my goodness. He does the grunt work while she handles the easier stuff.
“A Soundless Echo” is full of revelations, but none that really point to anything in particular. Everyone has secrets, everyone has a good reason for keeping those secrets, but they will come out eventually. And then what…?
