Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery

This one so much better than the previous 2021 Sweet Revenge. Sweet Revenge lacked chemistry between Sweeney and Mathison. BUT the chemistry is back and Norman is back to being his usual wingman persona. Norman in Sweet Revenge was very awkward. I still am not fully onboard with a new dark haired sister named Michele. I prefer Andrea and would love to see her back as well as some of the other characters that we saw on The Murder She Baled series. However, I am Really looking forward to seeing more installments of Hannah Swenson movies and seeing how the chemistry deepens with Mike and Hannah, will they continue as a couple or not.

I miss them. This movie lacked the pizzazz of the others. No real flow between characters. And not even close to the book.

That is what is sad about turning books into movies. Very rarely do they follow the intended story line. Took me 2 days to finish it that is how bad it was.

I miss Andrea and Bill. I am in agreement with an earlier reviewer. At least let us know where the character went OR stick with the original plot.

There was no real feeling behind Mike and Hannah's break up. It was l8ke the heart of the actors wasn't in the show. They stopped having fun with their characters. So sad.

The mystery is fine - some new topics covered. I totally relate to the Swensen family dynamic, but the situation between Hannah and Mike is really dragging out - maybe Delores is right and Hannah should be with Norman after all! I feel like they're too old to take so much time if Hannah really wants to be with Kingston. Andrea and Bill are again missing here, which loses several dimensions with them having links to the main characters plus a young family as well - they need Hannah to be a mum to fill this void, or Norman to be a dad, or both, either together or with different spouses. Hope they make more episodes.

Watching this was like greeting an old friend, or putting on your favorite slippers - it just felt right. So glad Hallmark brought this series back! Happy to see Cameron Mathison back on Hallmark, and Alison Sweeney was fantastic as always. They have a chemistry together that has always been evident in these films, and no less this one. All of the supporting actors are back, with Barbara Niven stealing every scene she was in. The movie had a new take on the mystery, with more of an historical murder to solve, and was very engaging. Looking forward already to the next one (which Hallmark has already announced)!

After all the other movies in this series, I miss the old settings and characters are missing. So disappointed that Hannah would have such a knee jerk reaction. She is usually so level-headed. I hope things are more back to normal in the next one. LOVE these movies and Allison Sweeney and Cameron Mathison. The storyline was hard to follow at times. It was still good, the 2 hours flew by, but used to having that good feeling when the movie was over. I know the stories are about murder but they usually have a happy ending for the main characters. Real life is so hard, we need these movies to escape for a short time. Keep making them! This is just my least favorite of them so far.
