Nick and Nora's hopes for a pleasant afternoon at the local race track are dashed when a jockey is found shot dead in the locker room. Nick's friend Lt. Abrams wants him to help out but Nick is enjoying the good life too much to get involved. However, he is subsequently approached by Major Scully to look into corruption and the role of organized crime in gambling. Others are killed but in the end, Nick gathers all of the suspects into a room and identifies the killer.
开头Nick牵着儿子，儿子又牵着Asta太逗了~
有趣的故事+破案的情节，赞
悬疑部分更加专心，搜查询问推理都比前作认真许多，台词还设置了几处对真凶的巧妙暗示。虽然案件反转都不太有说服力，但片名中的“影子”恰好可以理解成用于混淆视听的虚构凶手（片名也终于不再简单粗暴）。特征鲜明的小角色构成了尼克那广阔又奇特的人际网，夫妇俩遭遇案件的开场太符合这个系列不正经不情愿的特色了。小尼克渐渐长大，给系列的日常生活段落增添更多调剂，Asta越来越惹人怜爱，只是它的戏份用了太多快进和慢放...
看点是侦探夫妇和小狗狗卖萌，以及女主的衣服，至于案子，好像已经没这么要紧了
喜剧桥段已经形成套路，案件比较松散，最后凶手露马脚的关键线索一如很多「伪侦探剧」那样的一锥子买卖。
