I liked it for its Latin flavour

While in New York, she helps out a struggling band, but things become complicated when the sister of the band's bassist is implicated in the murder of a local extortionist.

A standard MSW episode, yet I enjoyed it; the Latin music industry, cutthroat thugs wanting to run the music business and misunderstandings. The characters were quite spirited, the mystery was ok, though I kind of guessed who punctured the ice pick in to the creep's back. But sometimes with mysteries, it's not the outcome that is enjoyable but getting to the end.
