  On HBO’s “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,” guest stars on tonight’s episode of NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”Grammy winner Jill Scott guest stars on tonight’s episode of NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” It airs at 10 p.m. on WKYC Channel 3.

This is a special role, all right. The singer-actress-songwriter hits plenty of dramatic high notes as the aunt of a disabled rape victim who cannot speak.

It’s a great moment to remind HBO executives they should bring back Scott’s fabulous mystery-comedy-drama series, “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.” Seven episodes aired last year on HBO, and fans have been eagerly waiting for word about the terrific show’s fate.

The real crime would be if HBO didn’t give the green light to a second batch of episodes. Scott was sensational as Precious Ramostswe, the warm and wise private detective at the heart of this delightful show set in Botswana.

Seeing Scott interact with detectives on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” is intriguing. Now let’s see her back playing the detective on what could be HBO’s No. 1 Show.  Story From Plain Dealer.
