Crossword Mysteries: Riddle Me Dead

Story was good and kept you guessing. The cast did a great job. Loved the Tess/Logan story.

On the road trip to Connecticut to look for evidence, Tess talks about vows and the idea of a wedding in the country. Explaining to Logan that she was raised on a farm and could milk a goat.

Tess and her Aunt Candace (Barbara Niven) are happy when the former is invited to read clues for the Jeopardy!-like program, Riddle Me This. Thanks to Tess's ex, Hunter (Jon Cor), a logic and word puzzle writer for the show, they also score tickets to a taping and a private meeting with its magnetic host, Aiden Brooks. Their impression of Aiden sours though when they see him berating staff, and the night ends on a real downer when he is found strangled on the studio floor.

The suspects are: a fired PA, exasperated executive and an overworked producer. All came under fire from Aiden's abusive personality and naturally aren't sad that he's dead. Star contestant Matthew Nasr is quite an obnoxious character and suspected of cheating and possibly dropping headlights on Lacey Chabert.

Normally the chemistry between Chabert and Brennan is the appealing part of this show, however, here, it's dampened by the inclusion Lacey's ex- fiancée. Brennan is jealous. In addition to this, this isn't as engaging to the other episodes, though the backdrop of a quiz show is enticing.

6/10 - game show set is a good addition to the Crossword Mysteries series, but is not the best it has to offer.

Crossword-maker Tess Harper (Lacey Chabert) reconnects with former boyfriend Hunter Hall, a producer on the popular game show Riddle Me This. He invites her onto the show. When the host is murdered, detective Logan O'Connor is the first cop on the scene. He had gone to the studio to surprise Tess with flower.
