I misteri di Aurora Teagarden - Taglia, cuci e uccidi

I liked this episode considerably more than the other reviewers here. It was a return to form in the sense that the plot centered on the town and residents of Lawrenceton, and the cast was mostly in place again, with the exception of Miranda Frigon (the character of Lynn Liggett-Smith).

Lexa Doig (Sally Allison) is still the MVP, IMO. She brings so much energy and humor to this show, it truly suffers when she is absent.

The murder itself was pleasantly complicated, with several possible suspects, who proved less than honest and trustworthy.

The writers, I thought, did a wonderful job of having Aurora defend her skeptical nature to her mother, Aida, who worried that Aurora's suspicious mind made it hard for people to get close to her. Later, in a beautifully written scene, the writers give us a scene between Sally and Aurora, where we witness how Aurora's true friends forgive and appreciate her suspicious, but open mind.

My husband didn't believe Poppy was used so much in the dialogue. He watched the recording with me and we counted 149 Poppy's used in the writing. Who wrote this? We can't say she or her?

Internet sensation and old family friend of Aurora Teagarden, Poppy Wilson, has returned to Lawrenceton to start her new embroidery business. But not everyone is happy with Poppy's success when she turns up dead. To find the killer, Roe must follow the unsettling truths that lead her into the path of the killer.

The suspects- Poppy's boyfriend, Dustin, who disappears from work at very convenient times and seems to have loved Poppy a little too much, her young stepmother, Nicole, who didn't get along with her stepdaughter and tried to convince her husband to change his will in her favor. Poppy's engaged friends Lizzy and Bubba -have a lot to hide. Lizzy was the last person to have contacted Poppy and was seen angrily confronting her about a supposed affair with her fiancé, which means both had motive to kill her.

Another satisfying Aurora Teagarden mystery that is well-paced, has a simple yet intricately crafted mystery that keeps you glued to the screen - the cast is great as always, especially Lexa Doig.

6/10 - not my favorite Roe mystery, but still worth the watch

This episode is unwatchable once you realize every other word spoken is "Poppy"!! Poppy this, Poppy that...won't give anything away but come on people enough is enough!! This installment just might outdo "Carol Ann" from Poltergeist 3!! Good luck making it through the 2 hour "Poppy fest". Ugh!!
