Aurora Teagarden: La fortune empoisonnée

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
