It's still a "howcatchem" and it starts with the murder but then it goes back in time to before the murder to insert Charlie in the story and we again see the events leading up to the killing but from Charlie's point of view. This all takes up so much time that the detective work and exposing the killer all happens in a rushed final 5 to 10 minutes of the show. [/QUOTE]
