I really love this series and wish there were going to be more movies! The mystery was again great and I had NO clue who the killer was. I love the chemistry between Shannon and Mac and am so ready for them to be a thing already!

A mostly Canadian cast and Canadian locations are what makes Concrete Evidence happen. This Hallmark mystery movie involves Jewel Pilcher who has taken over a construction company from her dad Ron Lea. She's working on a job for Colin Ferguson a mystery writer who has bought a rundown old mansion. It's a fixer-upper to either flip or live in and since Ferguson has a thing for Pilcher it will be the latter.

But plans go awry when a skeleton is found in a dumbwaiter that was deliberately sabotaged to be stuck between floors. It's the body of a girl who was a contemporary of Pilcher's in school. When she wasn't found it was thought she went off to Hollywood to seek fame and fortune.

Now a missing persons case becomes a really cold case homicide. But a lot of the possible suspects are still in town. I will say this the killer is not one I suspected at all.

The Hallmark mysteries seem to have a nice cookie cutter pattern where red state American women become the heroes. Still they do offer some good entertainment as this one does.

This Fixer Upper Mystery isn't a second chance story, and yet it does let some of these characters revisit their high school days, and solve the mystery of what ever became of their friend the High School Drama star everyone always thought would make it big in Hollywood.

We enjoyed it. It wasn't the most compelling but it wasn't terrible and was above average. Anything with Colin in it is great and for some reason I didn't recognize Jewel.

The story was good, and I wasn't even close to solving it correctly.

We will watch this series again.

There is nothing I love more than these quaint little mysteries and Hallmark seems to be cranking them out in royal fashion. Yay for me. Love the marathons and love the cast of this one. Jewel is a stand out. I don't think I had seen her in anything else before this and I'm glad I have. She has a new number one fan. Keep making these movies please.

Renovation expert Shannon Hughes (Jewel) is fixing Mac Sullivan (Colin Ferguson)'s home when she finds a skeleton stuck in the dumbwaiter. A bracelet names the victim as her longtime worker's sister missing years ago. They all knew the popular high school girl. Shannon finds suspicious clues in the house suggesting murder. The friends need to dig into their past and their community to find the truth.

It's rare for a Hallmark Mystery but I am interested in the case. It would be nice if the suspects are played by more compelling actors but that may be asking too much from minor characters in a Hallmark TV movie. It's not so much whodunit but whydunit. This one is better than the first movie but I'm not sure by how much. On a minor note, it is missing the end scene where Sherlock explains the case to Watson. Even for a simple case, it's nice to hear it laid out by the lead character.

I realy liked this movies. The best Hallmark mystery movies i seen. And i think i saw all of them. Everything was great. I hope to see few more of this.

Shannon, played by the singer Jewel, is a totally likeable woman whose career is contracting. But she keeps getting sidetracked by murders. In this one, the trail of clues wanders a bit. We get a bit more romance between Shannon and Mac as Jewel and Colin Ferguson connect.

Through no fault of the main actors in this made for television movie "Concrete Evidence: A Fixer Upper Mystery" just was not very intriguing. Jewel Kilcher who plays female general contractor and part time amateur sleuth Shannon Hughes has at least three suspects one of which who may be responsible for a 20 year old murder that has remained a mystery. That is a murder mystery until the teenage high school victims body is discovered in an old abandoned home in the bottom cavity of a dumb waiter in the house that Shannon Hughes has been charged with renovating.

Mrs. Shullivan and I just found the plot to be quite thin on circumstances and how the evidence unfolds in the hands of Shannon Hughes and her contractor/admirer Mac Sullivan (played by Colin Ferguson) and her good friend Jennifer Hennessey (played by Erin Karpluk from the 2010-2015 TV police series Rookie Blue) was just too wishy washy. Quite frankly it just didn't hold our attention and then we both felt that "oh no, not another stinker ending" feeling. But sad to say, yes, the ending left a lot to be desired for a murder mystery film.

I give it a 4 out of 10 rating and believe me, this I consider high praise for the main actors did an admirable job with a pretty weak script. This is not a memorable film and I am writing this review to remind myself that if it ever comes back as a re-run why for the life of me I may not be able to remember anything about the film.

It's a fun movie in terms of it does raise your heart rate a bit trying to figure out who the killer is. It makes you want to know who did it... until it drags on. Now you just can't wait for it to be over. And once you find out the reason for the murder, you can't help but crunch your eyebrows because you KNOW there has to be better reasons for killing someone that what this movie provided. Even the choice for the killer is so far fetched. You can tell the writers said, "Let's choose the most unlikely killer and throw in a random reason and make it work! They'll never see it coming and that's what will sell!" and thought it was brilliant.

It's a little bit more murder-y than your average everyday Hallmark mystery movie that's why it feels more exciting-- it makes you think the stakes are higher. The creep factor is to a 10 and that I can appreciate. But once you find out the reason for the murder you'd be just as as me. All that drama for nothing, very underwhelming. You'll appreciate the journey more than the destination.

The writing is disappointing. The whole time you're watching you're being made to believe it's brilliant because it's impossible to tell who the killer is based on the clues. Turns out, the clues themselves are unreliable. It's just a bunch of red herrings and wild goose chase with no connection to the actual killer until the 11th hour. If there is a connection it's so minor and vague. They magically show you that ONE and only important piece of information that tells you who exactly the killer is but only the characters know. You're in the dark same as the protag until come face to face with the killer themselves. Here's the thing, we get it. It's not the first time we're seen this kind of trope. It's just done lazily. It's like 99% of the movie was useless and might as well jumped to the last minute to where the relevant stuff actually happens.

The other disappointing part is how Jewel oversells that controlled emotion expressions that Hallmark makes all the main female leads from their other movies do (because true realistic emotions from women are forbidden in Hallmark, as we all know lol) to a point where it's annoying. In the 1st movie, you notice it after a while BUT are able to brush it off. Not in this 2nd movie though. This time you REALLY see it and you can't ignore it and it's cringe. It doesn't help that her crooked teeth takes you out of the fantasy that this movie is selling as well.

Overall, it's fun enough if you ignore all these things. It's still a nice family movie on a Friday night if you don't want to think too hard but still have a thrilling time. Plus the houses and interiors are beautiful, so there's that.

While starting the renovation on Mac's new/old home "The Craddick House", Shannon finds a skeleton of a body that was hidden in the dumb waiter.

It turns out it was a high school senior that Shannon and all her friends knew...including Shannon's foreman because the body is Lily, his sister who supposedly headed to Hollywood California after graduation to follow her dreams.

Mac and Shannon are both on the case...to solve this crime together. I love these two sharing their past stories and getting to know one another in the course of solving the crime.

Another good mystery, great acting and the story is getting better and better. It's not quite up to par with my three favorites: Murder she Baked, Mystery 101 and Aurora Teagarden...but it is still one of the better mystery series on Hallmark. I hope they do more!

Jewel is not a very actress. She's better than she was but still kinda hard to watch. Colin is a great actor as are the rest of the supporting cast.

Renovation specialist Shannon Hughes is forced to turn private detective once again when Mac, her new sweetheart, moves to Lighthouse Cove and buys the derelict lighthouse manor for which the town is named. As a spot of demolition work gets under way, the bones of a teenage girl who went missing 15 years ago are uncovered, and if Shannon has any chance of completing her job on time, she will need to tackle this cold-case herself.

Another light mystery that benefits from some good acting, interesting characters, however the plot can be overburdened and muddled, marring some of the enjoyment. It was hard to keep up, especially when it was going off tangent, loosing momentum.
