Reine of Terror: Melvin Reine, Wanda Medeiros Reine, and Shirley Souza Reine

Cape Cod, Massachusetts in the summertime is nothing short of picturesque, however in this episode, it’s the backdrop for no less than four murders, one attempted murder of a cop and countless arsons. The culprit, known as the “Falmouth Fox,” ends up being one of the most ruthless villains we’ve ever seen on Love Murder. Will he get his comeuppance in the end, and will the last enduring mystery ever be solved?
