Nikki e Nora: Gêmeas em Ação

Nora Sullivan (Rhiannon Fish) is a no-nonsense Chicago defense attorney. Nikki Sullivan (Hunter King) is a struggling actress. The estranged twin sisters cannot be more different. They inherit a detective agency from Charles Porter. They've never heard of the man. They investigate the death of Nora's boss who was her supportive mentor.

This is a Hallmark Mystery. I assume that this will be an ongoing series with these two characters. They are fine. These are two beautiful ladies. It's a halting start for the series. There is only one mystery for this first movie to solve. Why did Porter leave his agency to these girls? The reason seems obvious. It's only after a whole other case that the movie gets to that reveal. The Porter case should be the pilot case. It's poor construction for the writers. It's a poor start although the actresses could still be good.

Fraternal twins Nikki and Nora are forced back into each other's lives when they inherit a detective agency. Nikki is independent and is happy to be so, and Nora is a flaky would-be actress. They both haven't spoken to each other for years, and have some issues. However, as they work together to try and solve a murder, they soon realize that their differences may be their greatest advantage.

Quite an enjoyable mystery, mainly due to the chemistry and the bantering between the leads. It helps that their characters are quite differing, assuring a good rapport and some drama. It's a well-paced mystery, has solid investigation and holds the attention till the end. There's the usual Hallmark style, but it's all well done.

This new Hallmark mystery took me by surprise, I enjoyed it. I liked the storyline brewing between the twins, the animosity between Nora and Detective Sanchez, and the friendship between Nora and police officer Robby Watts. I do hope there will be more of Nikki and Nora...but while being happy with the whodunnit, I will miss a particular character moving forward, assuming there is more. I hope we will eventually discover why the private investigator left his business to both Nikki and Nora.

Nikki added the lighter aspects to this mystery series with her understudy to the understudy acting jobs. Nora brought the more serious side as the established lawyer whose boss is thought to have committed suicide. Not trusting the detective on the case who wraps up the suicide quickly, Nora teams up with her sister to get to the bottom of what really happened.

The dynamics in this series were great and I can't wait to see more. As mentioned, I thought Madison Smith was a real highlight of the show and his on screen chemistry with Rhiannon Fish was wonderful. This is a recommendation for hallmark mystery fans, I think you will love it.

I don't expect a lot from a Hallmark mystery, but this was a pretty good one overall. I was a little generous with the rating, giving it a bit of a bump for being unexpectedly fun.

The actresses who play the sisters are great. The ditzy sister might have been a bit too ditzy at the beginning and the serious one too serious, but a few scenes in and that evened out. The actresses are also very believable as sisters.

Overall the story has the usual red herrings, which weren't too overplayed (which is a nice change) and actually contributed to the overall story, since usually they are just dead ends.

I think to put it another way, I really hope this does well, because it would be a lot of fun to see a series of these movies, akin to Hallmarks other winners.

I enjoyed this entry into the Hallmark mysteries series.

Nikki (Hunter King) is an actress with money problems, and her sister Nora (Rhiannon Fish) is an attorney. They are fraternal twins.

They inherit a detective agency from someone who knew their parents. After not speaking for some time, they come together to find the killer of Nora's boss.

The two young women worked well together and have good chemistry. It wasn't the strongest story, but it had a nice twist. It was also directed at a nice pace.

I certainly liked this better than that horrible Crime Time. Hunter King's character is funny, and the women work well together.
