Attorney turned therapist Hailey Dean (Kellie Martin) is pulled into another investigation when a popular new dating app links multiple missing persons cases from around the city. Reuniting with her old team, Hailey discovers the potential dangers of online interaction, and must track down a killer before anyone else gets hurt.

Hailey Dean is more serious than the other Hallmark heroines such as Jennifer from Garage Sale and Hannah Swensen from Murder, She Baked and it's not too light, but nevertheless it's an interesting mystery, quite fast-paced and fairly absorbing. Gets more suspenseful towards the end. The acting is quite competent, however the heroine can be a bit annoying with her overbearingly bossy and know-it-all ways.

7/10 - my absolute favorite Hailey Dean so far and that is saying something!

The third Hailey Dean mystery finds our therapist former ADA played by Kellie Martin taking on a private investigation of a woman who is a friend of her mother. The daughter went missing a few days ago and Martin takes on the missing persons investigation. It doesn't remain that for she finds her body buried under a pile of leaves in a wooded area where she was known to go jogging and hiking.

With a former colleague from DA's office at her side Viv Leacock, Martin does her own murder investigation. Unlike some of the other female detectives in the Hallmark channel pantheon, Hailey Dean because she was in law enforcement gets far more cooperation from the authorities with no resentment. Surely more than Aurora Teagarden. Leacock and her have a relationship similar to Bridget Moynahan and Steven Schirippa from Blue Bloods.

They zero in on the fact that the deceased was dating from a new kind of dating App, meeting dates through that which seems to be a modern trend. The App is the creation of Toby Levins with big assist from Kieran Sequoia. Martin and Leacock pick the wrong suspect at first, but they do get ir right though it's a close run thing for Martin as to her very life.

This is the third entry in this series and a good one.

A missing daughter leads to Hailey investigating an online dating service, penguin match.

"Penguins mate for life and so do our users."-Jessica

Jonas should know better than to make reservations for him and Hailey. Their dates have become unique and predictably unpredictable.

"Nice to know my medical training translates outside of the coroner's office."-Jonas

I liked seeing Jonas being protective, especially in the face of a bully.

"So our dinner-dates have been reduced to crime scenes and police stations."-Jonas

There was another fun surprise appearance by the author of the Hailey Dean series, this time she was the proprietor of a Mexican restaurant.

"Being with you is always an adventure, Hailey Dean."-Jonas

The best part of this series is still our coroner, Jonas. He is the real reason I am hanging in with this mystery.
