The sixth in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery film series made for television. The final film for now, until the next one comes out. Based on the book named 'A Fool and His Honey'. Fourth director to helm a film in the franchise. So far I've enjoyed all the films. They all were decent, as I say, for the small screen standards. Produced for Hallmark channel, surely the target audience is women. But the whole family can enjoy them, I meant including kids, since it has less violence.
Surely a nice storyline for a literature. The film too was not bad, but it depends on the viewers. For instance, if you take me, I've seen many similar films. I'm not talking about crime solving themes, but this same platform with different characters, locations and a style of narration. That's why it is a television film, aimed for those viewers who are less familiar with the thematic. But I appreciate the effort. The production quality to the writing, music, performances, all were better. Especially the Hallmark's common cliché, the romance had got ridden. You will be happy for that if you are a male audience.
Another case where Aurora did not choose, but it chose her. It was slightly different than all the previous ones. Because she did not know what she's looking for. A young woman with a newborn baby had come to her house saying she's her boyfriend's niece. But the twist was a few moments later, she went missing and a stranger dead on her front porch. The baby was left behind. It was closely linked case, due to her relationship with Martin. It's good that way, because intensifies the atmosphere and no room for mistakes.
❝Did you come with an instruction book? Because I am very good with books.❞
There was a basic flaw. It was where the whole platform constructed on. Only at the end you will realise that. That it all would have been solved easily by those involved in it, before dragging Aurora and others into it. Even if it is in a life threatening situation. Because of what we predict, those possibilities, the theories, particularly against those people, are not strong enough. It was those young people, who wrongly handled the situation. That's why the original source material rightly titled, calling a fool.
Everything's about the baby. The baby gives the reason for this story, and also to solve the mystery. From the opening to the mid- section, it was a nice film. They did all they could improvise the narration, but the end was average. The film flourished only for its suspense. The answers were all the time in front of us, in front of Aurora. The writers just dragged it with the kind of character design, with somewhat a convincing reason. The romance parts, either it was Aurora and Martin or Aida and John, did not go anywhere. Joining hands, doing the investigation, that's one way to improve their relationship.
This is not the best in the series. At least better than the previous one. A new director, though nothing much has changed. The regular cast steered it with their best. It was a better film series than I'd anticipated. I had a nice time with them in the last one and a half weeks. The Hallmark Movies & Mysteries giving a new dimensional entertainment for the home audience. I mean, can you name a few crime/murder mystery titles with rating General. I don't know when the next one is coming out, but looking forward to it. In the meantime, I would suggest it, but not for all. Just lower your expectation and enjoy it.
7/10

Another entry into the Aurora Teagarden mystery series on Hallmark. Hallmark is more popular than ever; in fact, I'm watching it now.
Martin, Aurora's boyfriend, played by handsome Yannick Bisson, is thrilled when his niece, her husband, and their new baby show up for a visit. Aurora (Candace Cameron Bure) is happy to have her stay in the house while she and Martin go out. Now, I should point out this is a house where three dead bodies were found previously.
When they return, all hell has broken loose. The niece is gone; the baby's father is dead, and they find the baby in the shower.
Unraveling this one leads Aurora to private adoptions, illegal adoptions, midwives who charge big bucks, nosy neighbors, and the search for Martin's niece.
All these movies are okay - harmless, family-friendly fun and sometimes the mysteries are pretty good. This wasn't hard to figure out, but it beats watching the depressing news any day of the week. And millions have found that out.

Regina, the long-lost niece of Aurora's boyfriend, Martin, turns up with a baby. Before Martin has a chance to reconnect with Regina, she disappears leaving a dead husband, Craig, on Aurora's front porch and her baby, Hayden, hidden in Aurora's bathtub. Aurora and Martin's investigation leads them to Regina and Craig's home in the neighboring town of Corinth, where Craig's parents and Regina's neighbors express bewilderment when told of Regina's newborn baby. Aurora works on balancing her relationship with Martin with her efforts to solve the murder of the baby's father and the disappearance of his mother.
In first look at the storyline ( baby etc)I thought this would be a poor entry, but it's quite intricately plotted with enough twists and turns. It's a departure from a murder in traditional murder mystery fashion usually in this series. I found it great fun with some good humour such as Aida and the librarian arguing over who tends to the baby.

This Aurora Teagarden film features the titular librarian investigating another crime in Lawrenceton. The plot is fast-paced and complex, but all the moving parts do not make for a more interesting story. There are plenty of red herrings and much to speculate about. And the characters are interesting. But there is little drama until the very end of the film.
This is not a bad mystery, but it is only average, especially when compared with some others in this series.

Two things about this Aurora Teagarden story. First she spends minimal time at the library and none at all with her mystery book club. Secondly she makes several false starts in trying to figure this business out before she gets it right in the final half hour.
Candace Cameron Bure is back as our mystery solving librarian and her relationship with Yannick Bisson is going good and strong. But the two of them really play fast and loose with an obstruction of justice charge. In fact they conceal the presence of a person of interest in the case and get him shot later on because of it.
It all starts when an old friend of Bure's Sarah McKillip arrives with a husband and a baby and Bure agrees to put them up. Later on McKillip disappears, the husband is killed and she's left with the baby. And a mystery to solve.
It all has to do with black market babies and the intricate lengths people will go to avoid the lengthy adoption process.
But in the end Bisson and Bure decide that their babies will be done naturally.

We are back again with our librarian by day, and super sleuth by any time she finds it free to go investigate, Aurora Teagarden. This isn't one of the stories from the series that I really care about, it was ok, maybe lukewarm. I felt like plot was jumping around from wanting to add depth to Aurora as a character and having her own realization to the actual crime and mystery. While a lot of tv shows and movies do multitask like this, in this case it felt very half baked. There wasn't really a good resolution to it, it just happens and it felt very uninspired.
I do like though when the film itself is very self aware how ridiculous it is that dead bodies have been piling up around Aurora, the fact that Lynn called it flat out was funny.

Loved the books and now love the show. While it differs from A Fool and His Honey, the mysteries are fun, simple, and sweet. Hallmark knows exactly what we like and this is another great addition into Aurora catalogue. Candace is as warm and loveable as she was on full house and I can't wait to see what they come up with for the next one. Keep them coming.

The beloved cast of Aurora Teagarden is back. This series is loosely based on books by Charlaine Harris and has been one of my three favorite mystery series on Hallmark, along with Hannah Swensen and Mystery 101.
In this episode Martin's niece Regina shows up on Aurora's doorstep with a newborn baby in tow and unannounced. Having lost touch, Martin is thrilled to see her and when she announces she is going to stay a few days Aurora offers up her guest bedroom. After attending a party with Aida, they arrive back home to find Regina missing, the baby's father dead on the porch and a stranger named Rory in the closet. Luckily they find the baby safe and well in the bathtub...but the mysteries abound in finding Regina and the killer.
Martin and Aurora seem to be in a good place, but now they have the responsibility of taking care of a baby dumped on their lap...and unfortunately (in my opinion) Martin leaves that responsibility to Aurora while he races to find Regina.
There were some pretty cute scenes with the baby and both Aurora and Aida...but the funniest scenes were around Lillian and Aida fighting over baby time!
This was a solid entry in the series...but if I was Aurora I might be re-thinking who I am going to be raising my babies with. Fans of the series will enjoy this entry in the series which I highly recommend as a whole.

This character never does the smart thing. In every crisis she makes the most foolish moves. Like running out of a house after 2 of her companions are shot to chase a perp. She already made the mistake of leaving her phone in a car. Does she stop on her way out of the house to call authorities? No, she starts chasing.

I love Arouca Teagarden mysteries I even guess who did it. I have watched all of them about 20 times and I can't wait for the new ones to come out!

The sheer Litany of poor decisions and in the moment choices truly stagger the mind. The two lead characters are absolutely useless...but charming!

All of the Aurora Teagarden mysteries are the same. An amateur sleuth impeding justice and allowing the criminal to walk free. Sure, they show the bad guy being arrested at the end, but, in reality, the bad guy will get off EVERY time due to all the illegal acts committed by Aurora. I'm amazed she's not in jail on felony charges.
I saw one episode where she committed, in 5 minutes, the following crimes - criminal trespass, breaking & entering, home invasion, assault & battery and obstruction of justice.
She may solve the mystery, but the bad guy will go free every time.
She's a criminal and should be locked up
From start to finish, this low budget movie displays a glorious convergence of terrible acting, plot holes, curious facial expressions, overly simplistic dialogs, inexplicable animosities and attractions, unrealistic and hilarious reactions to what should be traumatic events like finding a dead body or discovering a baby left in your home, etc. Somehow the confluence of these failures add up to a surprisingly entertaining "fail comp" experience. Thus 2 stars instead of 1.

It's like they were trying to make a bad Teagarden. There were at least FIFTY annoying plot developments. And the baby element is almost as bad as the boyfriend who repeatedly pushes responsibility of the child on Aurora seemingly just because she's a woman. I'm only halfway through this episode on a full run through of the series but I don't know if I'm going to make it.
And we're Teagarden fans. Total FAIL.

There is at least one scene in the movie where the baby is being put to sleep and Aurora and her mother use a blanket to cover him instead of a baby sleeper bag. Babies, esp. newborns, are not to be covered up with a blanket due to the possibility suffocation. I am surprised, and concerned, that this was overlooked. The movie itself is a typical Hallmark movie mystery, easy to watch and no worry about language or content.
