Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: A Very Foul Play

This was a very enjoyable episode of Aurora Teagarden.

I have to say that it is more than a little disappointing that almost half the reviews here write only about about Candace Cameron Bure's hair. Seriously?!!

What I look for in reviews is discussions on plot and character development, not hair styles. This episode took things out of Lawrencetown, and to a beautiful mountain location.

The plot has an urgency to it because Aurora's cousin Phillip, (Dylan Sloane) is initially accused of the murder.

The element of the story that I enjoyed the most was the "changing-up" of Lynn Liggett-Smith's (Miranda Frigon) relationship with Aurora, and the Real Murder Club's membership.

Lynn joins with them to investigate the murder, partly because she sees that local political influence is guiding the police investigation, but also because of Lynn's respect and regard for Aida Teagarden, whose nephew it is who is being accused to the murder.

This creates a temporary bond between Lynn and Aurora that the writers do a nice job of navigating. All the actors, I thought, did a good job making the episode emotional without making it maudlin.

The initial murder struck me as a bit implausible, but the "who-done-it" was sufficiently complicated to override any skepticism I might have had initially.

For those who have been following the Aurora Teagarden series, and liking them, I think you will enjoy this episode.

As noted by another reviewer, I can't figure out why Hallmark can't do a decent wig for its leading lady? I can only think it's the same wig maker that did the even worse job as on When Calls The Heart. Horrible.

But overall, an enjoyable whodunnit.

I am a little obsessed with this series. Not only do I love Candace Cameron, I Aurora Teagarden. I love the idealistic town, so pretty. The mountains add the perfect touch for that get cozy and settle in for a good mystery. Perfect blend of characters. Who are all mostly likeable & add that little bit extra. Not many could make being a librarian look this fun. Yes, there a lot of shows of this type on tv, but this one stands alone, shining as the best. It's always fun to try and guess who the killer is before ur becomes too obvious. Maybe it's just me and i am biast. However, not much makes me happier than knowing there is a new one on tv.

Not a bad mystery. One of my favorite of the series. The setting of a play makes it more mysterious.

Aurora (Candace Cameron Bure) attends the annual "True Crimes & Mysteries Conference" and is asked to be a speaker. When an actual murder occurs during the performance of a stage play, clues and suspects abound. The conference is cancelled, but Aurora and her true crime cohorts investigate alongside the authorities.

Though this mystery is set away from Lawrenceton, the usual crew is all there for the fun.
