Um Mistério de Aurora Teagarden: Jogo Sujo

I am a little obsessed with this series. Not only do I love Candace Cameron, I Aurora Teagarden. I love the idealistic town, so pretty. The mountains add the perfect touch for that get cozy and settle in for a good mystery. Perfect blend of characters. Who are all mostly likeable & add that little bit extra. Not many could make being a librarian look this fun. Yes, there a lot of shows of this type on tv, but this one stands alone, shining as the best. It's always fun to try and guess who the killer is before ur becomes too obvious. Maybe it's just me and i am biast. However, not much makes me happier than knowing there is a new one on tv.

Been laid up on crutches the past week, so watching a lot of HM&M - fun shows, enjoyable shows, and some interesting shows. Columbo almost always comes thru with an interesting episode while the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries are fun and enjoyable. The character developments have been improving, tho I do miss Martin. Thought he seemed the most compatible for her.

Additionally, the back-and-forth between Roe and Lynn has improved with each episode. You can always count on them for a good comeback or two!

As for "A Very Foul Play", it felt like many of the other Teagarden's: some good lines, an interesting plot twist, and I want to give the episode an 8, but.....then there will be some lame scene or dialogue and I end up giving it a 7. I think I've rated them all a 7, LOL!!!

Bottom line: i enjoyed this episode!

This was a very enjoyable episode of Aurora Teagarden.

I have to say that it is more than a little disappointing that almost half the reviews here write only about about Candace Cameron Bure's hair. Seriously?!!

What I look for in reviews is discussions on plot and character development, not hair styles. This episode took things out of Lawrencetown, and to a beautiful mountain location.

The plot has an urgency to it because Aurora's cousin Phillip, (Dylan Sloane) is initially accused of the murder.

The element of the story that I enjoyed the most was the "changing-up" of Lynn Liggett-Smith's (Miranda Frigon) relationship with Aurora, and the Real Murder Club's membership.

Lynn joins with them to investigate the murder, partly because she sees that local political influence is guiding the police investigation, but also because of Lynn's respect and regard for Aida Teagarden, whose nephew it is who is being accused to the murder.

This creates a temporary bond between Lynn and Aurora that the writers do a nice job of navigating. All the actors, I thought, did a good job making the episode emotional without making it maudlin.

The initial murder struck me as a bit implausible, but the "who-done-it" was sufficiently complicated to override any skepticism I might have had initially.

For those who have been following the Aurora Teagarden series, and liking them, I think you will enjoy this episode.

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries - A Very Foul Play (Series 1 - Episode 12) is a standard format Aurora Teagarden Mystery (AT), but this time not based in scenic Lawrenceton. The action is set in and around an out of town local theatre and an annual true crime & mystery conference.

I enjoyed it and I must note that the last 3 AT movies have been above the normal Hallmark family film quality threshold - with the action, dialogue and characterisations across the board being better and more believable in context. Though of course, Ro fighting back by jumping up to grab a hanging chain and swinging then kicking out at the assailant? Unrealistic fight action scene for a Hallmark film, let alone an AT movie - too dramatic and staged. First thing I did when the credit rolled was look for the stunt women. Yep.There they were. Real life situation, maybe yes, Hallmark no. Aurora acting almost like some kind of trained crime fighter or a seasoned private detective.

Outside of the Hallmark films walled garden, this movie would not rate highly at all, but in context, a much better level of presentation than normal. I could easily take or leave an Aurora Teagarden Mystery, but recently I have began to look forward to the next movie. Entertaining family movie fare with a little extra bite.

7/10 - an interesting setting with a solid mystery to complement it makes for a fitting conclusion to the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries Month
