Prédiction mortelle

Big changes are in store for consumer investigations reporter Ruby (Cole), who after solving two murders has been upgraded to the crime beat. She can finally poke into these cases like it's her job and starts chasing down leads right away when someone leaves a note on her doorstep. The clue helps her find a gun that was used in the killing of psychic Rose Vitello. Rose's killing went unsolved and predictably, none of the suspects are eager to revisit the crime. They don't have a choice though when Detective Jake Killian is at hand.

Some of the suspects are Rival psychic Travis Tru, Rose's ex-boyfriend and Richard, also comes under scrutiny, as well as Rose's estranged daughter, Emily.

Despite some good acting, humour and a good pace, this is a bit of a flat tyre, especially in the first half, but picks up a little but doesn't raise up above average. Ticks the boxes for a time pass.

This is not my favorite mystery solving duo in the Hallmark Mystery Movie franchise. I am afraid I am more of an Aurora Teagarden and Hannah Swensen fan...and I am really warming to the Mystery 101 series. This series is somewhere in the middle of the pack for me.

Actually living in Seattle, I am somewhat annoyed with these series saying they are in Seattle but yet not actually being filmed here. Wrong high schools, wrong buses, wrong boats, wrong mountains, wrong police cars, wrong architecture....just wrong wrong wrong. That is annoying. Just say it is Vancouver or California or whatever...who cares?!?!? The mysteries are about the small details, yet no one is paying attention to the small details in the series. Jake and Ruby do not have the best on screen chemistry...which let's face it is why I really watch these "mysteries".

Will I keep watching? Maybe, unless there is something better out there...and right now I am really enjoying Turkish TV!

I really enjoyed this one. But found myself annoyed that when the character of Gladys kept looking familiar i couldn't figure out who she was by looking here. Thankfully the credits at the end listed her. Her name is BJ Harrison, and I was right I've seen her in several other things.

I'm a big fan of Taylor Cole! I know these Ruby Herring Mysteries are not her finest roles, but that is in great part due to the writing. This episode, Prediction Murder, is much better than the previous two. Considering the 100's of movies that Hallmark produces annually, for our enjoyment, I think the series has a chance to grow. We shouldn't complain about the repetition of predictable ending and familiar plots or we could lose it all together. Just watch something else if you don't appreciate Hallmark type productions.

Wow....incredibly bad acting, especially from John Wesley Shipp who plays Ruby's dad...surprised they keep making these.
