Her Last Breath

This one starts out a bit slow but picks up. Really enjoyed the cast, Jake (Stephen Huszar) is very easy on the eyes & Taylor Cole as Ruby is very likeable & believable. One of the better Hallmark mysteries!

Seriously, Hallmark???? You call this a mystery series??? The movie plot is as boring as the first episode. The leads were not in tune. I struggled to finish the movie but gave it up after one hour of watching. Per usual, Taylor Coke is so stoic and just a mediocre actress. On the good side, congrats to the hair dresser for toning down the annoying red hair from Episode 1.

Seattle's intrepid consumer reporter Ruby Herring is on the case again. In this film Taylor Cole has a guest fitness guru on her segment of the news hour. After she leaves the studio the women who is clearly disoriented as we see her, plunges over an embankment.

This was a beloved figure known for her philanthropy. Her company and herself gave millions away to environmental causes. Who would want to hurt her?

All I'll say is that this was one carefully thought out scheme by the perpetrator, from using a really exotic poison to dating a person for the express purpose of framing them.

This was a good entree in the Ruby Herring series.

6/10 - a sub-par mystery, but the characters kept the movie engaging

Ruby Herring (Taylor Cole) is doing a friendly story with rich vitamin entrepreneur Natalie Billings. When Natalie is killed in a car accident, Ruby starts investigating and discovers the case is being handled by a familiar face, police detective Jake Killian (Stephen Huszar).

It's the second movie in this Hallmark mystery franchise. I fail to see any chemistry between Cole and Huszar. He has no charisma. Cole is a beautiful woman but her acting is a bit stiff. The main difficulty is that the movie is way too stiff. The mystery isn't much and is really only worthwhile for an hour long episode at best. It's more like a series of discoveries rather than a fun whodunnit. It is all rather flat.
