6/10 - what one can always expect from a HMM flick: a capable, although amateur sleuth solving a decent mystery with a nice ensemble of supporting characters

Aurora and her mother Aida are attending a wedding and during it the mother of
the bride Karen Kruper gets served a cyanide cocktail. Right into action goes the
Real Murders club to find the killer.
The big surprise is that Kruper willed the family company she started to Marilu Henner. Which was a real surprise since Marilu knows from nothing about business. But she's the one that Kruper apparently trusted as opposed to a few grasping members of her family.
This is a family where intrigue is the middle name for all involved including friends of the family involved in the business. Some more murders and attempted murders before Candace Cameron Bure figures it all out.
Nice mystery with some interesting plot twists.

Good show. Aida had more to do in this one. But why do they have Aurora in a different house in every movie? Seems almost comical.
This Aurora mystery includes the usual characters from the town of Lawrenceton. When the bride's aunt is poisoned at her wedding reception, Ro and her squad search for clues. The reading of the victim's will only confuses matters more; the primary beneficiary is a big surprise.
Candace Cameron Bure, as usual, is solid in her portrayal of the amateur detective, Aurora.
Though some clues seem obvious, the final solution is rather intricate. This mystery will keep you guessing.

I admit, I do not know the series. An Inheritance to Die For is the only episode who I saw. But it is a nice one. The basic ingredient - the chemistry between Candace Cameron Bure and Niall Matter. The presence of Marilu Henner, like the effort of is a virtue in same measure. And, sure, the crime. Result - a pleasant story,Preston Vanderslice to give a reasonable portrait of. Cade McCourt is a virtue, in same measure. So, nice.

I am, of course, referring to the weird, creepy and unnatural looking eyebrows of the actor that plays Cade here (and the murderer on a Garage Sale Mystery).
They are VERY distracting.
I have seen at least 6-8 actors on this series (up to this point) AND on Garage Sale Mysteries with equally creepy eyebrows.
I jokingly wondered if that was the REAL reason Ro broke up with Martin (and not for allegedly returning to the CIA).
I also can't help but wonder why my reviews (here already longer than the ones I see posted online) are deemed "too few characters" by the site (when they are already several lines longer than existing ones).

Vintage costumes are abound for the Real Murders Club Agatha Christie Night. (Agatha Christie's first book The Tuesday Club is what inspired the real murders club. Miss Marple starts meeting with her friends every week to discuss the details of murders.) The gang is all dolled up and being hosted by Sally's aunt Gladys at her home. The rules are it is like a scavenger hunt but no one can leave the room...and the first clue is the Agatha Christie novel Five Little Pigs.
Hemlock served in beer...
I haven't mentioned the town lately...the town of Lawrenceton is not really on my west coast but back east in the state of New York. I always love when the fo shots of the massive waterfall that you can see from downtown. I have it on my list to see in person one day. Trust me my native Northwest is equally gorgeous...for those of you wanting to come visit out here.
Fast forward to Sally's cousin Lizzy who is getting married. Lizzy is marrying Bubba the lawyer...her long time boyfriend, both have been in several episodes of the Aurora Teagarden mysteries before.
"Some people think money solves everything."-Nick.
The wedding is lovely and both Aurora and Sally look gorgeous in lavender as bridesmaids.
"Teagarden women don't cry at weddings."-Ro "That's too bad because your eyes are beautiful when they are shimmering with tears."-Nick
That is one of the things I really like about Nick. He lets Ro be Ro and loves her just the way she is. He isn't over protective and respects her skills.
"Marriage and death all in one day. Life can change so much."-Ro.
Unfortunately Gladys ends up dying at the wedding reception right after she gives a lovely speech. When it turns out Gladys was murdered...the fishy behavior of some of the employees and family members becomes suspect. At the reading of the will it turns out that Ro's mother Aida is named the beneficiary for the bulk of Gladys' estate...including her house and not her son Cade.
Suspicions abound in this who-done-it.
"We're not playing the real murders speculation game."-Arthur.
Another great mystery in the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries series, the real murders club were integral in solving this mystery, and the relationship between Ro and Nick progresses.

Roe's best friend, Sally Allison (Lexa Doig), has the family drama. Her aunt, Gladys Allison-McCourt (Karen Kruper) is poisoned and dies at Lizzie Allison (Julia Benson) and Bubba Rankart's (Dave Collette) wedding. That sure makes for a memorable evening, but it's the reading of the will that gets everyone in a kerfuffle.
Instead of Gladys leaving her company and a majority of her fortune to her son, Cade McCourt (Preston Vanderslice), she puts Aida Teagarden (Marilu Henner) in charge of Allicourt Industries and leaves her a large part of her estate. That's when the chaos ensues. Who killed Gladys and why did she change her will a year before she passed away?
Starts off with an Agatha Christie murder event before a huge dinner event where a real Agatha Christie-style murder occurs - cyanide poisoning of a rich lady. Who did it? We got some shady suspects, whom Aurora and co. Question. This is a very good entry, keeps one guessing and moves quickly. The twist and the revelations are well done.

I love mysteries so I like all of Hallmark mystery/detective movies. This one was very good and I also was glad to see Iada having a larger part in this movie. One thing I want to ask other watchers: did any of you notice the resemblance between Nick and Arthur? I had to look them up because they looked so much alike I wondered if they were the same person. Talk about doppelgängers - and in the same movie! Way to go, Hallmark!
Several holes in the story of a nosy, amateur investigating murder. A running theme for Hallmark made series. Acting is hilarious. Victor was one of the worst actors here. I'm hooked on bad movies at the present. What's with Aurora's hair? As for her moving houses, I think it is the great thing about these movies. Though again there is the theme one has to settle down and get married. On one side a woman is shown she can do more, but she is still suppose to have love and marriage with a man - not true freedom for women with Hallmark.
