Mistletoe Murders

Now this is interesting! Only one episode in but I am already hooked. This definitely feels like a Hallmark Mystery win to me. Sarah Drew does a great job of being a sweet and charming small town girl with a secret darker past. She played it well! I love that there is a more obvious storyline of a the murder with a layered storyline of her past. I'm very excited to see where they go with her history storyline. And of course the good looking cop to banter with and develop something with will be a win too. Definitely worth watching. Love it when Hallmark actually tries to give a smart audience something a bit more intriguing.

MISTLETOE MURDER: POISON IN A PEAR TREE. Christmas shop owner Emily Lane investigates a murder when a friend is falesly accused of murdering her fiancee. Detective Sam Wilner is investigating the crime and tells Emily to stay out of it, but of course she stays in the hunt in ordervto help her friend. Sam is divorced and he and Emily's relationship is also complicated because his daughter, Violet, works part time in Emily's shop. This mystery is very entertaining, just when you've think you've figured it out, you are thrown another twist and turn. There's also hints and flashback's of Emily's own mysterious past that's a continuing part of the series.

Sarah Drew and Peter Mooney are perfect in the lead roles of the engaging main characters. The supporting roles are also well cast. And as a feline fancier myself, I liked the small role Emily's cats played in her life, it added a fun element. An entertaining mystery and I look forward to the series, and the promise of a possible growing romance between Sam and Emily in future episodes.

So enjoyable!

I love mysteries and this one left a major cliffhanger at the end of season one so I hope the next season will be released soon!

Only 6 episodes existing now but I'm hooked!

My favorite elements: the acting is well done!

The main character, Emily, is a mysterious but good natured woman with flashbacks to her past that has yet to be fully unveiled.

There is a budding romance between her and the main detective due to their work together on intriguing murder investigations that happen in the community.

The Christmas theme makes this a festive watch but would be enjoyable any season.

I just found this and finished both seasons in two days. Love it! The new episodes cannot come out fast enough. The mystery is so well done and not as easily to predict as most these days. I love that every two episodes is a complete story, while still having the underlying backstory as such a big part of every season. Sarah Drew is excellent and so is the guy who plays Sam. The actress who plays Violet is adorable! It's really nice to have access to truly clean, fun entertainment, that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Very enjoyable once I sorted out that it was 3 blocks of repeating episodes broke down into part 1 and part 2. Was completely confused at first and so was my DVR. However, what was with the huge cliffhanger? I'm not wanting to wait until next Christmas for the show to continue! It really didn't have a Christmas feel to it except she works in a Christmas store but it's open year round so the show could continue in the regular season. I really hate cliffhangers and I highly doubt I will be interested if it takes a year for the show to continue. Most of the movies that have follow ups the next year are actually taking place a year later whereas this show really needs to continue directly where it left off for continuity sake.
