A Murder in Mind

This Morning Show Mystery film has chef/cook Holly Robinson Peete having aspiring actress on her show Hilary Jardine who is about to star in a new series. But she finds out she's being replaced by the show's creator. Later on a dirty ex-cop is murdered and Jardine is looking good for it from several angles.

Naturally she's not the one who did the deed and Robinson Peete has enough faith in her innocence to solve the case.

I think though it was rather obvious from the gitgo who would windup the murderer. You even hope this one is the killer.

Because of that this one is not as good as others from this Hallmark series.

Holly Peete is fantastic! Her team at the TV station is excellently cast. Her aunt is great too- a nice balance to holly's character. Maurice is alright as well.

That said- Fox is... Not great. He's just very one note and not nearly charming enough to play opposite of Holly. Then there's David Paetkau. Oh my goodness does he need to go!! He's AWFUL! Could we please get ANYTHING out of this character other than cranky, snarky, and rude? Its do BORING! I can't tell if its the actor or the role but its horrendously played. Like he's trying to be a tough guy from a 1980s cop show.

The story lines need a little work. A lot of leaps in logic. Like.. Banning a dog from a restaurant for nothing? It doesn't work that way and it didn't even make sense. Kind of foolish writing. Holly Peete deserves better!

5/10 - an adequate installment in the series, but nothing to write home about

I am so glad that I can watch an African American led who dunnit! Keep up the good work and give me some more Billie and Ian... oh don't forget Aunt Cassandra 👍🏾

All the other mysteries are so much better than this one. Found this so boring
