We really enjoyed this, though I figured out who did it by....I'm not going to say, you figure it out. The leads had very nice chemistry and looked good together, they were believable.
The reviews say this was filmed in British Columbia...duh and the settings were beautiful. Too bad it wasn't filmed in Martha's Vineyard like it was supposed to.
Worth watching.

Jesse Metcalfe is back in this thrilling Martha's Vineyard movie mystery series. This second installation revolves around a priceless brooch being stolen. Just when you think you have it figured out, the person you pegged for doing it ends up dead! The twists and turns in this movie make it very exciting! Terrific acting, great storyline and the cinematography is outstanding! Don't mess this suspenseful, fun movie!
I like that the characters' personal stories continue through the series and connect them, although the plots are different, so it's not necessary to see them in order if you don't want to. It was suspenseful and mostly unpredictable.
I feel pretty much like I did after the first movie in this series.
Police procedures seem pretty lax especially with Jeff running around entering private property, questioning and chasing suspects and other things police are authorized to do. But he's not officially on the force and he doesn't announce that he is authorized by the police. And he takes Zee with him half the time, but at least she's the coroner.
The whodunit keeps the viewers on their toes. Like the first movie, the pool of suspects gets fairly large and there are some good red herrings. I thought I knew who the bad guy was until he was the first one dead. There were some interesting twists toward the end, especially about the broach.
Jeff and Zee are into flirt mode, but I'm still not impressed with the chemistry. Each one almost comes straight out and says to the other with little preamble "tell me your most personal secrets". That's one of the problems when there is a lot going on in a two hour TV movie - there's not a lot of time for being subtle in the relationships.

For me , this whole series is great entertainment . And this episode, I loved.
Firstly , there is something so likeable about both leads , Jesse Metcalfe and Sarah Lind work really well together , yes I know it's not Oscar winning stuff, but, it kept me gripped and guessing !
The location is just beautiful , whether it is Martha's Vineyard or British Colombia, it is still stunning in my eyes !
I do recommend ,not just this episode, but all four , well worth a watch.
Light entertainment , good characters , and some mysteries to solve !
And of course, a georgous location ( wish I was there ) !!

- TriviaJeff's complete name is said to be "thrice Presidential": Jefferson Washington Jackson.
- GoofsIn a common TV movie mistake, the doctor says the victims were incapacitated by a stun gun. Stun guns do not knock out people, they are a pain compliance weapon used to keep an attacker away from you. Holding a stun gun against someone for 3-5 seconds would result in a loss of balance and disorientation but not loss of consciousness. This error is repeated when a girl is knocked out after a less than one second use of the stun gun.
