Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: How to Con a Con

Ro (Candace Cameron Bure) and Nick (Niall Matter) press pause on their wedding planning when Aida (Marilu Henner), Ro's mother and Lawrenceton's best real estate agent, stumbles upon a murder. Her clients, Ben and Bianca Avery (David Lewis and Sarah Jane Redmond), are preparing a move but discover an outstanding $500k loan on their house. Neither seems to know anything about it, and soon after Ben starts looking into the matter, he ends up strangled to death on his living room floor.

Despite the over-convoluted mystery, and the story dragging a little, it's a fairly fun Aurora Teagarden mystery which features identity theft and a killer who likes to strangle his victims with a wire. It's very hard not to be charmed with this series, though, here, Lexa Doig isn't too whiny, which is a letdown. Love her moany character. Her character is the best and her and Roe work well together.

This has to be my third favorite Aurora Teagarden movie after The Julius house and A bundle of trouble! A huge step up from the last few movies!

When identity theft turns to murder in Lawrenceton, Washington you know that Aurora Teagarden and her true murders discussion group will get involved. Especially when it's one of her mother's clients that's involved.

When said client is murdered Candace Cameron Bure discovers that someone stole their identity and took out a home loan. As the real estate agent for the client Marilu Henner is attacked to get her copy of te loan.

Bure turns con artist setting up a sting to catch the perpetrator. It doesn't go quite to plan, but the villain is apprehended.

Even cousin Phillip gets involved. For once Dylan Sloane isn't the innocent suspect, but actively helps with the investigation

All this with the wedding of Bure and Niall Matter in the background.

Good mystery.

6/10 - one of the more forgettable entries in the long-running mystery series, but good enough for the hour and 20 minutes spent watching.

This one was just meh. The killer was obvious right away. It seemed rushed and almost thrown together. It's not horrible it's just not the best in the series. I'm wondering how people who have watched Aurora before are rating this one high and claiming it's one of the best. It's not.
