The Disappearing Game is the 9th installment in the teagarden mysteries series and is quite middle of the road for me in terms of story telling. It's not the worst, but not one of the better ones either.

Aurora as a character I do enjoy sometimes, and I like that she's a woman with urgency but it is getting tiring the way they write Arthur off as very incompetent and how Aurora and the others treat him and the police. I get it she needs to be the one to solve these mysteries or else there won't be a movie, but I do hope the writers manage to be more creative with the way she handles her character and her mystery solving because the way she just rushes and undermine people is starting to get old.

The crime or mystery itself in this movie was never that intriguing. You can clock who the "killer" is from the get go and how the story is gonna go down. They didn't try to even do a red herring or make you think otherwise it was pretty much spelled out early on. It would have been nice if they did more of an emotional scene by the end and unpacked more from the killer as a character but nine movies in and I don't think we'll ever get something that deep since this film series has never tried to be "deep".

Sally and to an extent Jason are the only characters I'm enjoying so far at the moment. Aurora is starting to rub me off, and i'm still trying to get a feel of this new love interest.
