I misteri di Aurora Teagarden - Il gioco del gatto e del topo

Glad that now you can set it as a series and do not get to miss one of the movies because I forgot to set the dvr. You can usually tell who's the culprit on these type of movies since the beginning. In my case, at least this particular movie had me guessing between two up until the end. One thing I have to say, and I hope producers read these reviews, that wig Candace is wearing for this trio of movies, needs to go. It looks really fake.

Aurora Teagarden mysteries are in my top three favorite mysteries on hallmark along with Hannah Swensen's Murder she baked and Mystery 101. I look forward to every episode.

This episode started a little darker than most of the other episodes, with what appears to be a fairly violent kidnapping or murder.

Next scene, Aurora's cousin Philip and the new hunky neighbor/professor, Nick, come to their first "real murders club" where Aurora is going over the lipstick killer...except it is interrupted by a thief. Their club meeting is a crime scene.

"A guy who picks up his socks...talk about a dream man."-Valerie

"Another dig at the real murders club."-Lynn.

"Aurora Teagarden, a besmircher."-Aurthur

"Play with murder enough and it gets you." The thief is leaving clues in the form of quotes from old detective novels.

"We think he is challenging Roe with his clues."-Nick.

The criminal is in a cat and mouse game with Aurora that escalates to attempted murder when her beloved best friend Sally ends up in the hospital.

Ro seems really rattled, can she get it together to solve this mystery?

I loved the detective fiction references in this episode, Poe, Dashiel Hammet, Dorothy Sayers, etc. It also introduces a forensic psychologist, profiler and friend of Nick's, Bri.

"Modus operandi is the manner in which the offender commits the crime, say the method of killing-knife, gun. His signature is something the offender does to fulfill himself emotionally. It's an addiction."-Bri.

"I could use more jello."-Sally.

This was really personal for Ro and it made for a good show. It also allowed Nick and Ro to bond a little.

First kiss and first official date.

I highly recommend this series. It is fantastic and this is one of the better episodes.

I had stopped watching Aurora Teagarden movies because as much as I like Yannick Bisson in other programs like Murdoch Mysteries, I thought pairing with Roe a big mistake. No onscreen chemistry. Now that her new boyfriend Niall Matter is in the series, I will return to watching them. Love the plots that returned to The Real Murders Club. Thanks!!!

Watched this as we were looking for something on a rainy day with guests. Completely predictable. The acting was hysterical and the characters were so cliche. Oh, and Candace Bure's wig is awful.

This Aurora Teagarden mystery is a bit different in that our sleuthing librarian is the target from the beginning. Of course this has something to do with a real murder mystery that took place several years back that got a bit of notoriety.

Several members of her real murders club are targets. But in this case they are targets for lesser crimes, some of them falling into the range of pranks.

When Candace Cameron Bure confronts the author of all these events and this individual is the murderer in that other case, you won't believe the motive. It is fascinating some of the things that can build up in a mind if you let it.

Nicely done, looks like Candace will be going strong with this series for a while yet.
