Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Heist and Seek

The library where Aurora Teagarden works is having an Elizabethan week and for a fundraiser they are having a fundraiser Elizabethan style. But the prize exhibit is an actual crown wore by her at the 1597 debut of Love's Labour Lost. Someone in a clever scheme heists the crown.and there s a big roomful of suspects.

Candace Cameron Bure leads her Real Murders club including cousin Dylan Sloane.to investigate to the usual consternation of the cops. But she knows sometimes better than they.

The culprit comes from wat out of left field and all I will say is that the crime was done for not the usual motives. It's what baffes the police iand also Aurora until almost the end of the film.

A good start to the latest round in the Teagarden series.

There are some wonderful cameos in this offering in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery Series, which remains one of my three favorite mystery series on Hallmark along with Hannah Swensen's Murder she Baked and mystery 101.

In this episode Nick is trying to find just the right moment to propose to Aurora, Sally's reluctant set up seems to be a miss, and the big event is a fundraiser for a literacy program at the library (Renaissance night Fundraiser) in which the lure is a dress like one that was worn by Queen Elizabeth I along with a crown said to have been worn by her that are on loan from a private collection of the Seattle Museum and under high security managed by Lynne.

First the Tudor Crown goes missing and second a murder...this shapes up to be another excellent murder mystery. Cue the murder board and the Real Murders Club! Loved the strong character of Mia Qwan.

"Magicians always have an assistant."-Nick.

My absolute favorite scene is when Nick catches Sally and Ro in his friend Eric's office....their prairie dog routine was priceless! This leads to our couple's first fight...Eric being on the suspect list.

"We're always on the same side, Ro."-Nick

While looking for a philandering security guard, Sally and Ro find body #2! This was a great who dunnit.

I highly recommend this series and enjoy watching every episode of this cosy mystery loosely based on the Charlaine Harris book series.

The actress playing Sally is unrecognizable, unless it's a new actress?

A daring theft takes place before an audience and the hunt is on for the thief, or thieves, who pilfered a Tudor crown known as "Leicester's Gift." Aurora (Candace Cameron Bure) Teagarden and her minions scour Lawrenceton in search of clues. Meanwhile, Nick (Niall Matter) is waiting for the perfect moment to propose to the ardent amateur sleuth.

There is no shortage of suspects in this whodunit. And there are plenty of red herrings. Although some clues seem readily apparent, it is no simple matter to anticipate the ending of this crime solver.

7/10 - definitely a step up from some of the other recent additions to the Aurora Teagarden series
