Description: Detective
Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and his new partner (Gregg Henry) investigate the murder
of a 16 year-old hooker who was stabbed and had her throat slit. Holder notices
a similarity between this death and one that Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos)
investigated a few year before. In that case, Ray Seward (Peter Sarsgaard) was
convicted of killing his wife and is now on death row awaiting execution.
Review: Season 2 finally solved the case of Rosie Larsen’s murder, time for a
new mystery. In the third season, Holder has a new partner and Linden has moved
to a quitter place away from her detective job. When Holder is working a case
of a young hooker who was murdered, he sees similarities in the way she was
killer, to a case Linden worked on years ago. In that case, Ray Seward was
convicted of murdering his wife and is now awaiting execution. Holder and
Linden get together again to solve the mystery.
This season starts slow, but
eventually becomes interesting. I wasn’t as invested in this season as I was in
the first two, but again it was intriguing and exciting enough for me to enjoy
it. We see a different side of both Holder and Linden and I love their dynamic
as a duo, on and off the job.
Peter Sarsgaard has a very
important role in this season, as the convict on death row, Ray Seward. What a
performance. Very impressive, especially when you learn the truth of his case
and the cases Holder and Linden are working on now.
Unlike the case of Rosie
Larsen, this case was primarily solved in one season, but that ending will be
taken in to the final fourth season. I’m curious how they are going to deal
with that.
