As mentioned, Hester was engaged to be married with Harvey Morrison. However, Stephen was not quite fond of Harvey, and especially disliked his father Louis Morrison when Louis failed to take Stephen's orders in producing a film. Hester was quite insistent to her father to accept Harvey in the family, despite the bloodline.

Five days before the wedding, Hester has invited detective Edwin Goodman. Hester used to be Edwin's client three years ago when her car was stolen. As soon as he entered the room, Edwin can sense the personality and relationships between the groom and the engaged family — Stephen and Christina were not in a good relationship with Harvey as they feared that Hester made a bad decision in marrying him.

Hester and soap opera actress Marian Harlan were not getting along as Hester was Marian's love rival for Harvey. In fact, Harvey was in a relationship with Marian once back in Los Angeles until they took a break. Marian's brother and cameraman, Greg, felt the same way towards Hester and Harvey's engagement. He vowed to make his sister happy no matter what.

One night, when Hester went to call Harvey, she overheard an intimate conversation between him and another woman. Hester was shocked and outraged for Harvey's infidelity and she went to Christina for emotional aid.

The following morning, Harvey was found shot in the chest, dead, in a hotel room. Hester was lined up as a suspect by leading investigator Lt. Hanlon when he discovered Harvey's infidelity. Hester came to Edwin Goodman to become his client again, this time, to solve Harvey's murder.

However, towards the end of the investigation, it was revealed that the killer was Hester's older sister Christina Milligan. It turned out that Harvey and Christina were lovers ever since high school. When Harvey and Louis moved to Abu Dhabi to live there for quite a while to shoot a film, it broke Christina's heart as she felt that she would never see Harvey again. But when she realised that Harvey had moved back to America six years later and was engaged to Hester, she was outraged towards Harvey's inconsideration and his lack of love towards her. That night of the murder, Christina slept with Harvey the final time and later killed him, she left the hotel room disguised as a maid. Christina was arrested for Harvey's murder.

At first, Hester was angry towards Edwin for arresting her sister. Until she realised that it was Christina's selfish attitude that made her kill Harvey and Hester should be angry at her. Hester thanked Edwin for giving her some peace for solving the case. At the end of the episode, Hester started a love relationship with Greg Harlan and they were happy together.
Jeanette Williams

**Jeanette Williams** is the young second wife of rich socialite Rupert Williams. In the twelfth episode of season four and New Year edition "New Year, New Murder", Edwin Goodman deduced Jeanette as the murderer of Rupert's ex-wife, Joan Williams.

Upon Rupert's divorce with Joan, Jeanette met Rupert when her best friend, Sydney Levine, introduced them to each other. The two saw each other as a compatible couple and the two married in two years time. However, unbeknownst to Rupert, Jeanette was a gold digger; she married him just for his wealth and she enjoyed the luxury.

But then, Joan returned to Rupert's life and began seeing each other again. Joan wanted a remarriage with Rupert and he was considering to do so. Jeanette knew that once Rupert divorce her, she would no longer have access to his wealth. So, Jeanette planned to kill Joan in order to avoid the remarriage.

The opportunity struck when Rupert invited Joan to his New Year's Eve party. Just before the firework display, Jeanette blew a poison dart on Joan's neck. Joan slowly succumbed to the poison while Jeanette and Rupert watched the firework display, with Rupert thinking that Joan was resting. When Joan's body was found, Jeanette took the dart to dispose of the murder weapon and frame Rupert.

After realising that their marriage contract showed that Jeanette can not gain access to Rupert's wealth when he is in jail, she decided to pin the murder to Sydney, knowing that she had been jealous towards Joan and Jeanette for their relationship with Rupert. So, Jeanette deviced a plan to incriminate Sydney by staging her attempted murder. She rigged a gun contraption in her room and make sure to avoid the rifle's shot once fired. The plan worked as the police figured out Sydney's motive. The police assumed that Sydney killed Joan and tried to kill Jeanette in order to gain Rupert's love.

However, despite her complex scheme, Edwin Goodman was able to deduce Jeanette as Joan's killer through the earring segment that she left in the crime scene. The segment detached from her earring while shooting Joan with a dart. Sydney's earrings (which is quite similar to Jeanette) was still intact. Edwin was able to link the earrings to the marriage contract, urging Jeanette to shift the blame to Sydney. Jeanette confessed to the murder of Joan Williams and was placed under arrest.

So, in order to increase her income, Kate decided to be involved in a money laundering scheme that was run by an illegal street gang through the help of her client, Denny Collins.

However, Gina had discovered Kate's involvement with the gang and decided to turn her in to the police. Eventually, Kate viewed this as a threat and decided to murder Gina. One night, when Gina was working overtime, Kate snuck in to strangle her to death with the telephone cord. Afterwards, she planted the gloves to incriminate Gina's frequent client, Reggie Tyson.

However, despite her attempts in manipulating suspicion away from her, Edwin Goodman deduced Kate as Gina's murderer. The evidence that proves so is the button that Gina tore off when Kate was strangling her. Then, Edwin remembered that Kate always wore a blazer — it was to cover the scratch marks Gina made during her murder, which also tore away the sleeve button. Edwin also discovered Kate's involvement in the gang when they discovered Denny's appointment log — the times he had to deliver the money was the same time as the appointment he had with Kate. Kate eventually confessed to Gina's murder and her participation in the money laundering scheme, she was arrested by the police.

Frank decided to kill his brother with the help from Jack, since Frank had no engineering experience.

Jack used a current manipulator that changes the track of electricity from the emergency power switch (which originally led to the main switchboard of the generator) to the main power generator. So that, when George attempted to fix the switchboard and the emergency switch was activated, the electricity is still on as the power was coming from the main generator (hence, the manipulation). Jack removed manipulator and left a scratched marking on the wire insulator, Edwin indicated this as murder.

When Edwin Goodman was hired by Jonathan Hogan, the main manager of the power generator, Edwin interrogated Jack. Jack began to lie that he looked up to George for his success. He even diverted suspicion away by suggesting former employee Simon Tomlin as a likely suspect after George fired him.

Sadly, this engagement was cut short when Cate was murdered the next day, bludegeoned to death. Edwin Goodman is on the case. He discovered that Melvyn still carried a flame of love for Cate from high school. Edwin also discovered that, if Christian was to marry Cate, Floyd would be disinherited from the fortune and Cate would claim the wealth.

However, it seems like Theresa was the only person in the company who liked Brian as the staff loathed him.

Their relationship turned for the worse when Brian discovered Walter's embezzlement scam, Brian fired Walter and Walter held a grudge against Brian.

On Joanne's case, she hated Brian for firing Walter and broke up her affair with him. Brian threatened to fire her too if she continued to be with Walter.

It turns out that Theresa discovered Brian's charm towards her secretary and decided to confront him after they went to the the cinema. Brian and Theresa had a lover's quarrel, resulting to Theresa driving away in tears.

The next day, Brian was found murdered in his estate — stabbed with a letter opener. The police immediately suspected Walter for the murder while Edwin Goodman disproved to their shallow perspective.

## Solution

Brian was murdered by Theresa's son Edward Fraser. Edward had been neglected by his mother and considered him as an assistant rather than her son. When Brian came along, Edward became jealous towards the attention Brian was given by his mother; the attention he wanted.

Edward planned to murder Brian. First, he anonymously tipped Brian about Walter's embezzlement to create an easy scapegoat and frame Walter for murder. Then, Edward ambushed Brian in his estate and waited for his mother to leave while Edward stabbed Brian with an army knife and coated the letter opener with blood to indicate that it was used to kill Brian. Edward went home and snuck into his room to make it look like he was there before Theresa arrived.

Edwin was able to identify Edward as Brian's killer through his late father's military career, which led him to the jagged army knife he kept for memory. Edwin noticed that Brian was stabbed with a jagged weapon, but the letter opener was not jagged, therefore it was not the murder weapon. The army knife was a perfect match to the stab wound.

But when Sylvia fell sick and confined in a bed, Connie was sure to gain the money when her sister dies. So, Connie took care and aided Sylvia, playing as her servant and carer just to get her name on the will. Connie also befriended banker Melissa Kramer as she was the administrator of Sylvia's financial account. But when Melissa had embezzled from the bank and took most of Sylvia's inheritance, Connie decided to negotiate with Melissa to regain the money.

When Melissa snuck in the bank in the middle of the night, Connie followed her and she thought of sharing the money she stole. Melissa disagreed, Connie was angered and they fought. Out of rage, Connie pushed Melissa to the edge of the counter, hitting her head. Connie transferred the money to a secret account in order to claim it once the investigation was over. She left Melissa to die there.

Edwin Goodman was able to deduce Connie as Melissa's murderer through the money stolen from Sylvia's account and that, among the few clients, Connie's account was not affected by the embezzlement along with the account containing the money. When Lt. Jensen discovered the money, and that it was traced to Sylvia's account prior the embezzlement, Connie could only be the one who transferred this money in the bank that night when Melissa died, regarding Sylvia's confinement on the bed.

In order to prove Edwin's theory to be true, he informed the suspects that the police would search through Caroline Ericsson's apartment for some evidence to convict her (Caroline, a client and Lt. Jensen's ex-wife, was considered the primary suspect in this case.). Connie was fooled, she was caught trying to incriminate Caroline and Connie was arrested.

This was determined through Janet's damaged car, Janet could not have driven her car to the murder scene because it was broken, the detail that Andrew underestimated. Edwin knew that Andrew was the one who attacked Sean through the missing brake fluid canister, because Andrew needed to repair his car brakes to return back to his house.

But, Edwin does not believe that Andrew was the one who actually killed Sean. Edwin deduced the true killer to be Laura Windsor, Sean's first wife. Laura's reason in killing Sean was because of the alimony payments she had to make ever since their divorce. Edwin determined Laura as the killer through the bloody towelette that was found in house's laundry – it belonged to Laura's towel set, proving that she was there to finish Andrew's job. Andrew stated that he did not recognise the towelette, only meaning that the towelette became bloody because Laura was there when Sean was wounded.

Joe created a diversion by spreading a rumour in the Mafia that there was a traitor who wanted to overthrow Mancini, knowing that Mancini was close to the detective, he would have hired Edwin to investigate.

Eventually, the diversion worked and Mancini hired Edwin, preventing him from investigating Jason's death. But this was also a mistake, because when Joe took a shot at Mancini to make it look like the traitor was still at large, Edwin matched the bullet to the one that killed Jason, making a connection. Edwin had Mancini's men check Joe's apartment for any payments (considering that Joe never personally knew Jason) to commit the murder. Eventually, Edwin made the connection between Joe and Sarah through the deposit.

In order to prove this, Edwin told Lt. Lawson to inform Sarah that they were on a verge in tracing the cartridge to the shooter.

However, Edwin found out that there were two flaws in her plan — the maid that was responsible for Harvey's room service had a tattoo on her neck. The footage showed that the maid had no tattoo. Another distinction that incriminated Christina was the bracelet she wore when she escaped the scene of the crime — it was an heirloom bracelet that matched the one in the portrait of her grandmother, placing her in the crime scene. Christina eventually crumbled and confessed to the murder of Harvey Morrison.
Kathy Ridgeway

**Kathy Ridgeway** was the personal assistant for well-known novelist, Regina Avery. She appears in the episode “Romance Is Dead”.

It was revealed that, in the past, Kathy used to date novelist Craig Costner. But then, Craig broke up with her for a woman in higher class. This angered Kathy and she plotted to kill Craig.

The perfect opportunity struck when Regina Avery attended a book convention in Kentville along with Craig. At that night, Kathy ambushed Craig while he was on his way to meet his lover – Regina. Kathy shot Craig from her hiding spot, but then Regina arrived to see Kathy alongside Craig’s body. Kathy shot and killed Regina to avoid any witnesses. Panicking, Kathy tried to stage the situation as a lover’s quarrel gone wrong, she placed the gun in Craig’s hand to make it look like Craig killed Regina and then killed himself.

However, Kathy was unaware of the fact that Craig survived the shooting, and that Craig was suspected by the police for murdering Regina. When it was revealed that Craig had multiple lovers, suuspicion was shifted to Craig’s wife, Rhonda. But, as usual, Edwin does not think that Rhonda was responsible for the attacks.

When Edwin noticed Kathy’s unique ruby necklace, he gets a revelation that Kathy was Regina’s murderer and Craig’s attempted murderer. The ruby gemstone originally came from the ring that Craig gave Kathy, the same ring he gave to the rest of his lovers. The evidence that proves Kathy attacked Craig and Regina was the refridgeration fluid on her jacket, the fluid that came from a leaking vent where she hid. Kathy eventually confessed and she was arrested for Regina’s murder and her attempt on killing Craig.

However, when police informant and columnist Lena Emery was investigating the corruption and found hard incriminating evidence, his job in Callaghan's office was at risk.

That morning when Lena went to Callaghan's office to state her evidence, Harvey overheard their argument. When Lena threatened to reveal this to the district attorney, Harvey followed Lena to her apartment to negotiate the situation. It ended with Harvey panic-stricken and struck Lena to death with a Singaporean paperweight. Harvey quickly escaped and arrived back in his post.

Edwin Goodman and D.A. Jack Hayden were able to determine Harvey as Lena's killer through the placement of the suspects — Christine the receptionist could not have heard the argument as she was on a break, Lisa the business partner arrived late. In fact, Callaghan stated that Harvey was there when he talked to Lena, but Callaghan cannot provide an alibi for Harvey behind closed doors. The key to cracking the case was the murder weapon — the Singaporean paperweight that was hidden in plain sight was similar to the one in Lena's photograph of her study. Harvey crumbled and confessed to the murder. At the end, after his arrest, Hayden offered Harvey a lesser sentence if he cooperated in finding the evidence he took from Lena's study. Harvey located the evidence.
