Murder, She Baked: A Deadly Recipe

This is the fourth and very busy entry in the cosy mystery series Murder She Baked.

It starts with Hannah getting nocked down by a potential car thief, the race for sheriff involving Hannah's brother-in-law, and then Hannah and her very pregnant sister finding the body of the current sherif.

Bill, Hannah's brother-in-law, becomes the prime suspect as the competitor to the current sheriff in this year's election.

Norman, the dentist and romantic rival for Hannah is away at a dental conference. This sets up an amusing scene at The Cookie Jar, when Detective Mike grabs the phone from Hannah and chats with Norman...the rivalry continues.

Alison Sweeney and Cameron Mathieson have chemistry for days and it is enjoyable to watch their banter. Our Dentist, Norman...who continues to be almost the perfect man, leaves the dental conference early just to help Hannah investigate.

"I think that no one will be sleeping on that couch tonight."

"For the record, you kissed me."

Great mystery and another must see in the Mystery She Baked Series. (I really wish there were more, but maybe I will try the books.)

There is a huge mistake about how the car thieves stole the cars. They didn't have the keyless system, they used a slim Jim to gain access. Also, the alarm would go off if the door is opened without having the key they came with the car. Another thing, it doesn't matter if they used the access point to override anything, you can't use another key to start the car. Whoever wrote the story line needs to do better research for the movies.

Allison Sweeney and Cameron Mathison star in "Murder, She Baked: A Deadly Recipe" on Hallmark channel. In this mystery series, Sweeney plays Hannah Swenson, who owns a bakery, The Cookie Jar, in Lake Eden, Minnesota, and she has a penchant for solving mysteries.

This time, it's the town sheriff who has been murdered, and his deputy, Hannah's brother-in-law, is a suspect.

Hannah gets to work trying to clear her brother-in-law, but as she does so, she finds herself in danger.

All My Children's Cameron Mathison plays Mike, a police officer, who is crazy about Hannah. He has some competition, but it looks like he's winning.

This was slow, but okay, with decent acting. The leads are pleasant. One thing I noticed was that not everyone had a Hollywood figure - I guess it was the bakery influence. It's a good influence.

For trivia buffs, the director is Kristoffer Tabori, a former actor who is the son of Viveca Lindfors and Don Siegel. Viveca had a stage and film career, and Don Siegel? He directed the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

The main issue with this movie was that the lead character was an utterly vile human being. Yes, murder mystery detectives do tend to be nosy busy bodies but she took takes biscuit (excuse the pun). The way she got involved in other people's private affairs and stuck her oar in where it didn't matter was unbelievable. The icing on the cake was her visiting a recently widowed lady, bringing her her dead husbands favourite cakes and asking for a family secret BBQ sauce recipe, whilst she snooped through her mail. Her exchanging recipes at a funeral also was just a tad insensitive!!! The kitchen where she works should also be shut down. So many health and saftety violations with all the staff wearing zero protective gear and quite happy to nibble whatever they like. One lady chomped on half a cupcake and then put the rest back with the others!! Utter tosh

Alison Sweeney and Cameron Mathison so sickening act like love struck teenagers .really badly written .
