MatchMaker Mysteries: A Fatal Romance

Danica and Victor are awesome.

The set designer or whomever, for Hallmark, seems to make a HOBBY LOBBY run for flowers before the filming.

The fake flowers are so fake.

They are just randomly placed.

It seems they are just placed in the ground, anywhere, all colors mixed together. Not realistic at all .

Hallmark can do better than this. And this is in many of their movies.

I like the cast. Its similar style to the other hallmark mysteries, but i would say better than most story wise.

It was entertaining enough and of course the suspect with no obvious motive is the killer. I like the actors but not here. Zero chemistry maybe because it is only the second movie and they are supposed to be building up. The Mystery 101 series is much better written, suspenseful and portrayed. And Hallmark props... shame on you for the huge fake flower bushes from Michaels in the final scene.

Angie Dove (Danica McKellar) has been invited to moderate a panel at a romance convention being held in town. No, she hasn't started writing books of any kind, but she is so well known locally for her matchmaking TV show, she is a natural fit. This does put her back into contact with Ethan, her ex-boyfriend who has taken over a publishing company from his late mother. Among his authors are Beatrice Penn (Anne Marie DeLuise), a best-selling author with a huge fan base.

She later dies from poisoning and there's a few suspects, one of them being Angie's ex-flame ...

Motives and suspects are well-woven with the puzzle fitting place at the finale, not after much investigating from Angie. The actress who plays her is quite lively and charming, her chemistry with the detective isn't too strong. Plus he looks a little too lethargic, or maybe he's meant to be that way. This is otherwise a fairly lively mystery with a dollop of a light touch.

I love the two of main characters in this mystery. Delightful and cute!!
