Ships in the Night: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery

Totally agree with other reviewers ridiculous blue Box. But The dialogue is so lame ! The stories themselves not bad ,but nobody really talks like that

From the running and moving Jeff' role has him doing - why is he not paralyzed from the bullet lodged close to his spine? Why is there no vineyard in the series, only seaside village? Why is Jeff buff when he doesn't exercise?

Also why is Dr Zee wearing high heels on hospital duty, on the beach, everywhere? Why is she not practicing being a dr. Instead of an investigator?

Dialogue is better than most of the Hallmark series movies. A little corny but too funny about the inconsistencies in script.

There's a murder. Jeff and Zee are back to solving the case. Jeff is rethinking the incident which put the bullet in his back. It's the third movie in this Hallmark mystery series.

Sarah Lind loosens up a little. That's a good thing but the relationship still needs work. They didn't start the series with a meet-cute and their banter is not that good. I guess they're not going to accept my suggestion to insert a love triangle. I'm still hoping for flashbacks to their childhood. In fact, they should do a mystery which centers around their younger selves. The mysteries are not doing it for me. Jeff's bullet in his back is the more interesting case. I'm losing interest in this franchise.

I really enjoy this series. This is a another good one! Lots of plot twists and misdirection. Jeff and Zee's relationship continues to grow and the mystery of Jeff's injury takes another turn.

I don't know why, but this Hallmark mystery series has never drawn me in like some of the others and is so far from my three favorites (Hannah Swensen's Murder She Baked, Aurora Teagarden and Mystery 101), that it is almost not worth reviewing.

There is so much going on in this episode that it feels scattered instead of like a comprehensive and completely story. The returning characters seem to be a barista who is our main character's friend...but they have no chemistry and barely exchange a few lines an episode...let alone nothing in common, a doctor potential love interest who moonlights as the M. E. And her father the chief of police who is always trying to talk out main character into going back to work for the local police.

Our main character is a male and a former Boston police detective who was forced into early retirement do to a shooting which killed his partner and left him with a bullet in his back. This gets brought up every episode...I wish they would just solve that mystery and move on! Also, all through the episode we get to see him working out...running, boxing, etc.

In this episode someone is killed at a local art gallery...then the former doctor ends up dead in his home...while he was trying to build a medical device that could have helped many.

Meanwhile our two love interests keep having to cancel their dinner plans.

Best part of this episode was the romantic exchange in the last 5-10 seconds of the whole show.

This is starting to be a hard pass for me and I can't really recommend it.
