Um Mistério de Aurora Teagarden: Uma Pilha de Problemas

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
