  • Really good

    Perhaps consider less chit chat at the beginning, including background of the investigator. Let’s focus on the victim, what’s happened (we don’t all know this case so a summary at the beginning is helpful, otherwise it’s like I’ve walked halfway into a conversation, with no idea what’s going on…)
