Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Reunited and It Feels So Deadly

Another great mystery with Aurora and her friends. I enjoyed this just as the others. Only slightly negative thing is that these are getting predictable knowing that the first person they arrest is never the true killer, they always find they wrongly accused.

This is one of those cookie cutter murder mysteries that runs for the standard ninety (90) minutes and presents an endless stream of potential murder suspects to the point where I just didn't care anymore who they arrested. Mrs. Shullivan and I truly enjoy actress Candace Cameron Bure's innocence and perky personality in almost all of the earlier Aurora Teagarden mysteries, but when Aurora climbs out a second storey window, over a railing, and down a trellise to prove a point, now I have seen everything.

Just because this made for TV mystery had a dozen or so suspects, does not make it a mystery, nor does the hokey way that Aurora solve this murder, with the eventual murderer declaring their crime.

I write some of my IMDB reviews just to remind myself not to get fooled a second time and watch it again a few years later after time has passed and memories have waned. This is one of those forgettable made for TV mysteries that can be forgotten and "No, Aurora it does not feel so deadly"

I give it a mediocre rated 5 out of 10 IMDB review.

Ro (Cameron Bure) and her best friend, Sally (Lexa Doig), are looking forward to a memorable night out at their high school reunion. They arrive to see that the campus big shots haven't shown much growth. Former lovers and homecoming king and queen Jack (Toby Levins) and Cassie (Kate Isaac) draw attention with an interaction that suggests they're not through as a couple. This puts Jack's wife, Amy (Tegan Moss), in a hot rage. Coach Caldwell (Jeffrey Joseph) from the football team also decides to light into his star player over a lawsuit regarding the latter's failed fitness company. When Jack turns up dead, stabbed and floating face-down in the swimming pool, everyone is shocked but not all that surprised.

Aurora Teagarden and her murder club investigate a school reunion murder in this snappy mystery. There isn't one dull moment as the plot snakes into plenty of avenues. The list of suspects are short, and expertly several red herrings leap out. The only thing I didn't like was Nick ( Niall matter )- I found him quite annoying with his smug look every time he confronts one of the suspects who once dated his now fiancée, Aurora. Aurora's previous beau played by Yannick was a much more likeable character.

Nick gets to meet Ro's high school classmates at her twenty year high school reunion and consults with Arthur and the police on a serial robbery case.

Parker Stevens...Ro's high school sweetheart comes to the reunion as well as Jack Landon the football quarterback, who is a little down on his luck and being sued by their former coach for money owed. The embittered high school cheerleader and prom Queen Cassie...takes all of thirty seconds to cause problems between her former love, Jack, and his wife.

It wouldn't be an Aurora Teagarden mystery if there wasn't a murder...and then Jack, the quarterback, ends up dead in the hotel pool. Sadly, the list of suspects is long and almost all classmates of Ro, Arthur and Sally.

This is another great who dunnit in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery series, one of my three favorite on Hallmark along with Hannah Swensen's Murder she Baked and Mystery 101. Aurora Teagarden is loosely based on the Charlaine Harris series.

Did Ro date a murderer?

Nick was his normal wonderful supportive self and assured Ro that it is ok for them to disagree. Our usual team gets right down to...as Aida calls it "the real murders game of find the suspect".

I have enjoyed every Aurora Teagarden entry and this one is no exception. If you are not watching this series...you are missing out!

6/10 - Aurora Teagarden is back with a fun mystery with some familiar faces
