A Reason to Believe

December 1, 2012
Det. Matthew Bennett responds to a missing child call early on Christmas morning and hears a childish giggle no one else seems to hear. He follows the sound to the basement, where he sees Abby, or rather her ghost, which leads him to her hidden body. When Matt's sister-in-law finds out about his ghostly experience, she drags him to a program featuring Kiernan Fitzpatrick, an internationally renowned medium and host of his own cable show. As Kiernan works unofficially with Matt on the case, the two discover more commonalities than differences in their lives, including their growing attraction to each other. VERDICT Copland builds a solid relationship between Matt and Kiernan in a short period of time under trying circumstances without resorting to stereotypes or losing plot momentum.
