Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Sheriff Chew's casual corruption and cynicism provide endless entertainment. And the murder really does get solved, even if the Sheriff declines to report that it was the Devil who did it.
Con: The ending is unsatisfying. It makes the whole story seem like the setup for an anti-rap joke.
