A Wife's Suspicion (2016 TV Movie)
8/10
"Sociopaths Relate to Obsession"

Warning: Spoilers
Jack and Kyle were best buddies when Jack stole Renee right from under his bro. But it turns out that Renee has her hands full with Jack, who has not been forthcoming with her about his past. In fact, Jack' s real name is Stephen Boyden, a former drug addict.

"A Wife's Suspicion" (a.k.a., "Evidence of Truth") successfully blends the romantic intrigue with a murder mystery. Renee is an expert forensics analyst, and her boss is none other than Kyle, her ex beau. Kyle's wife Holly was murdered, and Renee believes that a serial killer is on the loose.

In her investigation, the early evidence leads Renee right back to her husband Jack. But the smooth-talking charmer Jack convinces Renee that when he was kissing and hugging Bess, it was only because he was her "sponsor" at the Narcotics No More support center. And there is not enough forensic evidence to tie Jack to the murder of Holly, Jennifer Griegson, or Jade.

The small object of the climbing carabiner figures in the mystery. In the Griegson case, a carabiner had turned up in which the killer had scaled a wall of an apartment building like a mountain climber. If Renee can trace back the carabiner to the owner, she may learn who is the killer.

The film included a good batch of characters and a set of relationships that circled around each other. It was never credible that Renee would leave a devoted family man like Kyle for a playboy-adventurer like Jack. But there was still good suspense and a nice symmetry to the film's action. The film opens and closes at the Devil's Punch Bowl, which is southwest of Portland, Oregon. It is there that the day of reckoning will occur to either validate or reject a wife's suspicion.
