Murder, with Love

In Hallmark movies and TV shows, there is a tragic and unnecessary epidemic of fake eating. You know what I mean: actors having something delicious in front of them. They bring it right up to the tip of their mouth, are about to partake, and then boom, the director cuts to the next camera and somehow the actor has magically finished!

In Hailey Dean Mysteries, there are no smoke and mirrors. Viv Leacock as Fincher Garland, is the real deal. He takes us on a journey, chowing down on an eclectic mix of culinary delights, everything from sublime burritos to salty snacks, and we enjoy every savory second of it.

Really happy to see an old school type of mystery movie where we can watch with our kids. Nothing horrific or adult rated or other bad scenes, which is hard to find these days. Thanks! After watching this we already added all the next parts of the mystery movie to our family movie night list! =)

It would be great if this was shown on Netflix because right now everything mystery on Netflix is so not meant for kids.

I think I much prefer Kellie Martin in the romantic comedy genre of Hallmark films, rather than in this sort of thing.

It's fine, but I wouldn't rush to watch another.

Good movie, good cast, interesting mystery, kept me guessing until the end, and when the murderer was identified, I was shocked, did not see that one coming.

No love interest so I cannot comment on chemistry.

My advice; Good movie for the mystery loving family.

Her IMDB date of birth puts her age at the time of this movie at around 40-41.

However, the wrinkles in her face and neck put her at closer to 50-55.

Is her IMDB date of birth incorrect? Has she aged THAT poorly? Was she aged for the role?

It was a decent movie and mystery, for the type (a Hallmark Mystery Movie), but I found the way she has aged to be very distracting. And it made it all the more unlikely that she would be friends or colleagues with people that appeared to be 15-25 years younger.

I hope her aging isn't due to health problems. I just saw her the day before in a Mystery Woman movie and it was like mother vs. Daughter (the age difference).
