Her Last Breath

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.

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!

I watched a couple of the Ruby Herring movies and my general review of all of them are, Ruby is not really a likeable character. In one instance her friend dies and normal people would be upset or sad, she's emotionless and just keen to solve the murder. She has two looks, fake looking smile smirk or blank face. The detective Jake however is handsome and plays the role well. They should just make more Aurora Teagarden.

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