Mortal Mishaps

I was disappointed with the horrible acting. It did not appear natural. Especially that episode where she was taking to the dog.

I liked the characters and the plots are good. IMO Holly Peete makes the show but she's not the only good character and her chemistry with Fox has a subtle quality. I know one person had it figured out early but we didn't. If you like entertaining mysteries it's worth watching.

I think given the upheaval in today's world, more and more people are turning to Hallmark Channel! I'm not kidding - I've heard a lot of people mention it lately.

Hallmark has a group of series in the Mystery genre, and this is a new one, the Morning Show mysteries, starring Holly Robinson Peete and the always-hunky Rick Fox.

Peete plays Billie Blessings, a successful cookbook author and restaurant owner who has a special segment on the Morning Show. In this episode, one of the executives at the network is poisoned by a cake -- and suspicion falls on Billie. Rather than wait around to be cleared, Billie starts her own investigation.

Benign, pleasant, familiar, all describe these mysteries. No sex, foul language, violence, or unhappy endings. The people are attractive and often include popular tv/Hallmark/soap stars like Allison Sweeney, Cameron Matthison, Kellie Martin, Brooke Shields, Lori Loughlin, etc. For many, this is just what the doctor ordered. Personally I'll watch anything with the word Mystery in it, so there you go.

Billie Blessings has gone from beloved chef, restaurant owner, and morning show segment host to the prime suspect in a murder case when one of the executives at the network dies from poisoning. When the head chef at Billie's restaurant is arrested and held as a suspect, Billie takes matters into her own hands by digging deeper into a mystery that could incriminate people close to her while risking her own life in the process

There's some great chemistry with the leads, the mystery is quite interesting, but it's convoluted at times with so many name dropping of suspects and it tends to drag, but it's adequately entertaining enough.

Yikes. I was sure it was. It was SO slow moving. I fell asleep at least once during the movie (which is unusual for me).

This is subpar for a Hallmark mystery movie. If you are looking for this type of movie, I would recommend the Aurora Teagarden, Garage Sale Mysteries, or the Murder She Baked series well before this one.

Are some IMDB users required to have longer reviews than other users? I only ask as the featured review (and many others) are less than 3 lines long and were accepted. Whereas mine is several times longer than that and it STILL says I need another 87 characters. Now THAT is a REAL mystery.
