Three Bedrooms, One Corpse: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery

This is our introduction to the character Martin Bartell, who Aurora meets when she agrees to show a house to a client on behalf of her mother Aida. While showing Martin the house, they discover the body of another real estate agent in the backyard.

This begins a very personal mystery as it brings suspicion to the employees in Aida's office...and brings suspicion on Martin.

The mystery was well done, the cast is tight, the writing is great and this is why this is one of my three favorite mystery series on Hallmark (along with Hannah Swensen's Murder she Baked and Mystery 101). I love how strong, curious and plucky Aurora is as a character. I think Candace Cameron Bure does and amazing job embodying the character. (I loved her wardrobe...especially the red skirt, white print blouse, and navy blue sweater!) I really appreciated how the character of Martin handled Aurora's suspicions...it was well written and an excellent way to bond these two strong characters together with mutual respect. Yannick Bisson is an excellent addition to the cast as Martin. He and Candace have wonderful on screen chemistry...and I really enjoyed watching the progress of their relationship. I love how this show keeps the same actors for its series and this stable of supporting actors is phenomenal. It helps that they have good writing and wonderful small town sets for the fake town of Lawrenceton, Washington. (I do love the upstate New York waterfall that they show for the town...it is beautiful and sort of believable for a mountainous Washington State town.)

This continues to be one of the best things on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and I really hope they get back to making more shows like this in 2023.

7/10 - my favorite Roe movie, funny and entertaining

This is the Aurora Teagarden mystery where Candace Cameron Bure meets her intended Yannick Bisson. She finds he's a man with quite a past and for a while the subject of the murder of two real estate agents.

In fact that's what drives Cameron in this murder mystery. She meets Bisson who is looking to buy a house and he's supposed to meet up with Marilu Henner, Roe's real estate agent mom. But Henner is running late and Cameron takes Bisson to the house where they find the body of another real estate agent.

Then at another site another female real estate agent is found dead. Roe's concern is that someone is targeting real estate agents of the female variety though nothing sexual is done.

In fact both murders were done to cover up another crime. What that was and who did it you have to watch for. But rest assured it's not Bisson.

I guess we have to wait and see if our mystery loving librarian and her man of mystery get hitched in another of these films in the series.

I must say I enjoyed this Aurora Teagarden mystery better than what I had seen previously, I think because the star, Candace Cameron Bure was a tiny bit more subdued. Also, I liked this mystery.

While showing a house for her real estate mother Aida (Marilu Henner), Aurora finds the body of an agent that worked for her mother. Aurora knows this particular house well, from her childhood, and thinks something is off about its look. After comparing it with photos, she realizes a painting has been replaced by another one. Is this about art theft?

There are any number of suspects: an agent who majored in art in college, the agent's husband, the man looking at the house - the list seems endless.

Then the body of another agent shows up in a second house.

Pretty good and entertaining. These mystery movies are made in Canada and use predominantly Canadian actors, and the budget isn't very big. This one moved quickly and had a nice plot.

Aurora Teagarden (Candace Cameron-Bure) is a librarian in a small town that must have the highest per capita rate of homicide in the nation. In this episode, the body of a local realtor is found. Aurora runs an investigation parallel to the official police investigation (with somewhat better results, of course) to their chagrin.

Something seems to be missing from the crime scene, leading Aurora on a trail that uncovers several suspects.

This film has an underlying humor---despite imminent danger---which makes it entertaining.
