The Past Tense by Lee Goldberg

3.0

I liked the uniqueness of going back in time in The Past Tense. Seeing Mark Sloane’s past and learning about his first mystery was definitely fun. I couldn’t help but wonder how the show writers and creators would react to it. The story was lacking in one area - after the killer is identified, Mark learns something devastating about his past. However, he doesn’t pursue that information to verify it or process it in any way. It was too thin and lack closure. In spite of that, The Past Tense was enjoyable and I’m sad I only have a few more left.
