Castle (TV Series) Ghosts (2009) User Reviews

one of the best crime cases i have seen in castle or otherwise

[belaidinazim-57060 · 9/10 · 24 January 2023]

Usually in shows like these that have this one case per episode formula, I rarely am interested in the case itself even though I try to pay attention. So, I only end up caring about the characters interactions and development. But this one is different. It has got terrorism even though it was 20 years ago, the implication of it on the victims and people who has nothing to do with the crime itself. The fact that we were led to believe that Cynthia is the one who gave the money to the family made the reveal that Susan is still alive and is the one who is giving money to them really surprising. What's more surprising though was the fact that lee wax the writer was the one manipulating all of this without putting her hand in the dirt was fascinating. She was asking people left and right and deliberately telling them that she was writing Cynthia's memoir. In some ways she sped up the process of Cynthia's killing just to be able to write a true crime book instead of a memoir to increase sales. It's like castle said, it isn't a crime but it's petty.

The Bathtub with Oil Motor

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 15 April 2022]

When a woman is found dead in a bathtub with oil motor, Castle, Beckett and her team investigate the case. They identify the victim as Allison Porter and they contact her suburban husband Michael Goldman. Soon they learn that their whole life was unreal and Allison was indeed Cynthia Dern, a terrorist that exploded an oil tanker twenty years ago, turning her captain into a paralyzed man. Further, they learn that the writer Lee Wax is writing her memoirs with her version of the explosion of the oil tanker and there are contradiction in her story with the real story.

"Ghosts" is the return of good episodes of "Castle". The plot has many twists and the conclusion is great, with an excellent resolution. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Ghosts"
