The Cases of Mystery Lane: Death Is Listening

The Cases of Mystery Lane have been fantastic. This series has been a refreshing change from the usual and both of the movies have been really entertaining and top notch. The cast is fantastic and they all have great energy and chemistry with each other. The storylines have been engaging and the pace of the movies in the series has been perfect and flow very well. Paul Campbell is especially good and his comedic timing and charm are fantastic! These are a win for Hallmark Channel. Love this series and hope that Hallmark makes many more of them. Watch them and enjoy The Cases of Mystery Lane series!

I just watched the second movie and do not understand some of these reviews. I found the movie fun; it was a new twist on a mystery movie. I love the characters' on-screen chemistry, and their relationship seems genuine. It is light-hearted rather than a heavy "suspense" type of movie. The way the couple go about getting clues and getting at their suspect is excellent. I especially loved the "Salsa Teachers" in this movie. I would love to see Mystery Lane turn into an ongoing series of movies. I think this type of mystery movie is one that the Rom-Com lovers would immensely enjoy. This is almost like a Mystery Comedy. Something completely new for viewers. Maybe Hallmark is going to start a new category! This movie could be shown on all the other Hallmark channels rather than just the Hallmark Movies and Mystery channel. Please make more Hallmark! I am eagerly waiting on #3 to come!

The Husband (accountant) and wife (lawyer) couple, are both invested in their careers and the husband start investigating the crime and his wife enventually gets involved and start remembering how much they have fun together. Their both keeping secrets from each other, but they do eventually tell each other, even if it's very hard. But the actors in this movie are well qualified and have lots of personality and is fun to watch. I even laughed and was very surprised by the twist and turns still to come. I was surprised by who the killer ended up to be!

I was surprised in how well this pretend husband and wife meshed together. I haven't ever seen the actress before, and only the husband ( actor) doing other hallmark movies which he was always great in. The movie move along easily and I couldn't stop watching it. This is a very High quality movie. I was so happy when i found out there was an another mystery movie with both of them in it together.

I really hope that Hallmark continues this into a T. V. Series. In my mind it's better than (Aurora Teagarden).

Listen I am not expecting Masterpiece Mystery quality from Hallmark, but I have rewound this movie more times than I can count since attempting to follow the plot. In addition to the putative murder mystery, there are about 5 subplots going on: each spouse is hiding a significant secret, there is some crazy tempestuous mother- daughter dynamics, and then some sort of frenemies situation. Hands down however the MOST annoying part of this movie is the MAN CHILD male lead, followed quickly behind by the incessant beating of the HEY WE ARE NERDS drum by both leads. I really wish Hallmark mysteries would return to adapting successful mysteries series rather than attempting to produce original scripts.

Probably a bit weaker than best Hallmarky mysteries - mystery wise. But I enjoyed this film a lot because of two leads and super cozy setting.

We meet Birdie and Aldon again, they are true crime fans, and have a chance to meet their hero. Except they don't: the author of a well-known true crime podcast is killed. Officer Air Quotes is on it, but even the Cases are helpful.

I'm not gonna ask why Birdie is allowed to skip work and go helping police. Or how does a mouse make a hole in one single page of a newspaper. Or why a police officer outsources most important tasks to a couple of civilians... Anyways I really enjoyed this installment. Love mysteries that don't revolve around the female lead and a police officer and the whole will they - won't they thing.
