Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: The Disappearing Game

Aurora is finalizing settled in her new house and she has a brand new next door neighbor Nick Miller, psychology professor at Lawrenceton College where Ro's cousin Phillip has just started. Ro tries to be a good cousin, rescuing Philip from the school's cafeteria. Aida and Ro invite Philip out with his roommate Josh to celebrate his birthday...but he ends up being a no show, which sets Ro's suspicious mind to work.

Meanwhile spoiled rich kid, Clayton Harris, is arrested for vandalizing a statue on the college campus.

Ro and Nick have an adorable meet-cute at her library where he is picking up a book on home repair... "I have a problem, too many books not enough shelves. I don't suppose you can relate?"-Nick "My mother told you about my never ending quest for bookshelf space."-Ro "Or I have insight into the psychology of librarians?"-Nick Their banter is adorable and what in addition to the mysteries is keeping me in this series. (One of my three favorite of the hallmark mystery series along with Hannah Swensen's Murder she Baked and Mystery 101...I keep coming back for the great mysteries and wonderful healthy relationships.)

Philip and Josh are missing and Ro finds Tammy's body which seems to have been involved in a hit and run. They find money in Josh and a Philip's room. When it looks like Clayton may be involved, the wealthy family circles the wagon...or do they? It turns out Clayton has been kidnapped. Gather the Real Murders Club...this is quite the mystery and Nick Miller was one of the last people to speak to Tammy. It is personal for both Nick and Ro and this is the mystery that brings them together.

Great mystery and the start of a new chapter in the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. This is a must see for cosy mystery fans.

I enjoy this series as it's easy to watch, often has some interesting plot twists, and the banter between Ro and Lynn adds some flavor and continuity. Many of the episodes I've wanted to give an 8, but then there would be some really weak dialogue, silly scenes, etc. and I usually end up posting a 6 or 7.

But with this episode, ugh, I was tempted to give it a 5 or worse! I enjoyed it for the story line, but the dialogue was often boring and some of the scenarios a bit outlandish - walking about the dorms like that, really???

I hope future Teagarden's will be better.

When the movies started, Aurora clues where usually ignored by the police which led to "believable" desire to follow them up in her mystery solving, but now she knows both the chief of police and the Mayor who both take her seriously. Yet the scripts still have her doing stupid things, interfering in investigations and putting hers and other people's lives at risk.

Come on Scriptwriters. Yes its Hallmark movies but at least TRY to use your intelligence and put together a movie that actually makes me want to believe in the main character instead of hoping she's arrested.

It is just a movie, from a book. All in fun. What is refreshing is there is no major bloodshed, no gruesome scenes, no in your face sex, no cursing. We need just silly, fun little mysteries that can take us away from the political garbage. Who cares if she works or not. The whole cast works well together. Although a few have changed from the past, but are ok. I look forward to these series and enjoy them. Prior to watching you know what you are in for. These are not Oscar winning shows. Simple middle of the week entertainment. Aurora's friend Sally cracks me up and the casting for Henner as her mother is down right spot on. Keep these coming if not for anyone else but me. Love them.
