Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: The Disappearing Game

6/10 - you know just what to expect going into this one: lighthearted fun and a great mystery

Candace Cameron Bure is back as our sluething librarian Aurora Teagarden in The Disappearing Game. A lot of the series regulars are also back as Marilu Henner as her mother, Lexa Doig as her helpful reporter friend and Peter Benson as the patient detective who really still doesn't know what to do with Auora. In some ways her sleuthing won't be containe as this involves a visiting cousin from Arizona now enrolled in school in her town.

On one night the cousin and a friend just disappear and a girl they knew was killed in a hit and run. Shortly after that another male student peer also disappears and now the police and the university have one dead and three missing students on their hands.

The solution is a little farfetched and all I'll say is that a bit of insanity runs in a certain family and not in the family originally thought to have it.

Fans of the series should like it.

So much down voting on reviews that are being completely honest. The FACT of the matter is that Aurora is out of line often. She is a border line criminal. I know these shows are meant to be fun but the writing is just so bad. The plots are just too far fetched and they make Aurora into a complete idiot. The only reason she "solves" anything is because she outright accuses everyone until she gets it right, impedes on people's rights (like barging into their homes without concent), blabbing her mouth about everything to everyone, and breaks the law when she interferes into every investigation. If a father gets a ransom demand and they say no cops. It's HIS choice whether or not to go to the police NOT hers and yet she feels she is the only one who gets to make decisions. The police have said a billion times to stop interfering and it's in one ear and out the other. She does what she wants when she wants and nothing, not even the law, will stop her. The last one I watched she left her shot lover and another boy bleeding out, defenseless, and a baby upstairs, in an unlocked house as she ran across the street to peep in on the other house. I thought she was going for her phone to call an ambulance but nooooope, she went to go spy on the neighbors as Martin was bleeding out on the floor. She is ridiculous and I can not deal with it anymore. I have switched to the new Fixer upper with Jewel and I love those. I wish they would make more. At least she has common sense.

So sick of nosey bossy aurora telling law enforcement their job. She is always in the way Niall Matter is the worst man friend yet needs to get a personality .love Sally not a fan of Marilou Henner . Awful wigs

It is just a movie, from a book. All in fun. What is refreshing is there is no major bloodshed, no gruesome scenes, no in your face sex, no cursing. We need just silly, fun little mysteries that can take us away from the political garbage. Who cares if she works or not. The whole cast works well together. Although a few have changed from the past, but are ok. I look forward to these series and enjoy them. Prior to watching you know what you are in for. These are not Oscar winning shows. Simple middle of the week entertainment. Aurora's friend Sally cracks me up and the casting for Henner as her mother is down right spot on. Keep these coming if not for anyone else but me. Love them.
