Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Reunited and It Feels So Deadly

I always like these movies but who do they think they are fooling? 20 year anniversary? Yeah if they didn't graduate high school until they were late 20's to early 30's! It's ridiculous to act as if these middle aged people are in their 30's. They aren't.

This latest Aurora Teagarden mystery has our sleuthing librarian heading for her high school reunion and thinking of little more than the music she listened to back in the day. She's also sporting a new fiance in Niall Matter as she got engaged in the last film.

The last thing Roe and the others expect is murder, but one happens and it's one of her classmates who had a reputation for being a go getter and a promoter back in the day. Now he's gone gotten himself stabbed to death and the murder weapon is missing.

This one is painful for our librarian sleuth as she has trouble fathoming who among her friends could be a killer.

Marilu Henner is back as Aurora's mom and Dylan Sloane is back as cousin Phillip. For the first time since his introduction in the series Sloane is not in any trouble. So far he unwittingly aided in a heist, was a murder suspect when caught with weapon in hand, and has been kidnapped.

Fans of the series should enjoy this.

Nick gets to meet Ro's high school classmates at her twenty year high school reunion and consults with Arthur and the police on a serial robbery case.

Parker Stevens...Ro's high school sweetheart comes to the reunion as well as Jack Landon the football quarterback, who is a little down on his luck and being sued by their former coach for money owed. The embittered high school cheerleader and prom Queen Cassie...takes all of thirty seconds to cause problems between her former love, Jack, and his wife.

It wouldn't be an Aurora Teagarden mystery if there wasn't a murder...and then Jack, the quarterback, ends up dead in the hotel pool. Sadly, the list of suspects is long and almost all classmates of Ro, Arthur and Sally.

This is another great who dunnit in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery series, one of my three favorite on Hallmark along with Hannah Swensen's Murder she Baked and Mystery 101. Aurora Teagarden is loosely based on the Charlaine Harris series.

Did Ro date a murderer?

Nick was his normal wonderful supportive self and assured Ro that it is ok for them to disagree. Our usual team gets right down to...as Aida calls it "the real murders game of find the suspect".

I have enjoyed every Aurora Teagarden entry and this one is no exception. If you are not watching this series...you are missing out!

6/10 - Aurora Teagarden is back with a fun mystery with some familiar faces

This is one of those cookie cutter murder mysteries that runs for the standard ninety (90) minutes and presents an endless stream of potential murder suspects to the point where I just didn't care anymore who they arrested. Mrs. Shullivan and I truly enjoy actress Candace Cameron Bure's innocence and perky personality in almost all of the earlier Aurora Teagarden mysteries, but when Aurora climbs out a second storey window, over a railing, and down a trellise to prove a point, now I have seen everything.

Just because this made for TV mystery had a dozen or so suspects, does not make it a mystery, nor does the hokey way that Aurora solve this murder, with the eventual murderer declaring their crime.

I write some of my IMDB reviews just to remind myself not to get fooled a second time and watch it again a few years later after time has passed and memories have waned. This is one of those forgettable made for TV mysteries that can be forgotten and "No, Aurora it does not feel so deadly"

I give it a mediocre rated 5 out of 10 IMDB review.
