Message d'adieu

The story is interesting enough. I didn't suspect the right person until very late. Actually, I think they had almost no proof, even after the arrest.

The acting doesn't seem real. The characters are shallow. To me there was one interesting quirk - Loughlin's acting at times reminding me very much of her co-star on When Calls the Heart, Pascale Hutton. Only some little snippets.

Just amused by the fact that it's snowing and freezing cold and in one scene the stars are wearing "summer" clothes! Costume what were you thinking? That said nice film.

"Chocolate donut or bear claw?"-Dani "What happened to smoothies and kale?"-Jen "This is medicine."-Dani

Dani's judge-mental older sister Beth Anne is coming to town...and musician John Dalton's bassist and creative designer come in to Rags to Riches looking for a jacket for his local concert inviting both Jen and Dani to the pre-concert soundcheck. While at the soundcheck, the bassist texts the band her suicide note. Needless to say Jen's curiosity is piqued especially since she just dropped of some items for consignment.

Detective and friend Frank Lynnwood seems to think it is a cut and dried suicide.

Meanwhile on the home front, Hannah along with a bunch of fellow college students is protesting the tearing down of a historic Hatcher building...the big condo development project her dad Jason is working on. So, conflict on the home front!

A solid entry in this cosy mystery series with both a tight family unit and exceptional friendships.

Famous country singer John Dalton's concert rehearsal is stalled when the entire crew receives a suicide note from Lita, the band's bassist. After discovering that a Taser was used to immobilize her before her death, Jenn is skeptical that Lita's death was actually suicide. But by whom? Is it her estranged husband that just shows up out of the blue or one or more of the other band members? She begins her own investigation that includes a forensic pathologist and an investigator. Also, Dani's older sister Beth Ann comes to Town to Visit her.

A faked suicide that is actually murder is a well worn occurrence in mysteries with the detective pointing out why it isn't suicide, but here in this good mystery Jenn is struggling to prove it's murder except for a few signs and her instinct. It's another well done mystery, though some subplots such as Dani's sister scenes can hamper the pace a bit.

This one wasn't as good as the others, because of the side stories, and the obvious killer. I knew who the killer was very early on; I've seen and read so many murder mysteries that sometimes the 'how it was done' is something I've seen so many times, it's just obvious. Dani's sister, and her attitude toward Dani really irritated me; but their story did turn out okay in the end. What bothered me even more was the daughter story line. She was a total jerk to her Dad, through the whole thing, and I was really disappointed that she got her way in the end. She's so smug and arrogant, her character overall is really annoying. Not crazy about the actress either. My other complaint is that they use actors who can't sing to play people who sing, like Kurt Teixeira, who I'm sorry to say also isn't a very good actor.
