L'Île aux mystères : L'Affaire des émeraudes

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.

Zee's friend Britt Prajna has recovered The Lakshmi Emeralds, a $5 million brooch, which her family lost long ago. A masked man breaks into Britt's home to steal the jewels and sends her to the hospital. Jeff and Zee go on the search for the thief.

I am more convinced than ever that Jesse Metcalfe and Sarah Lind don't have the required chemistry. The franchise should have switched her and Chelsea Hobbs. Somebody screwed up the casting process. It would be daring for Jeff to get into a love triangle. That may be the best way to generate more romance energy and quite frankly, it would be a good departure for this type of show to have more complicated romance. As for the mystery, it's fine for this type of TV movies. This franchise is more likely to rise and fall due to the romance rather than the mysteries.

This series isn't the best Hallmark has to offer, but it's okay.

This one is the second in the series.

This story concerns a family emerald broach worth a fortune. Jeff (Jesse Metcalfe) keeps being dragged out of law enforcement retirement, this time to help protect the broach and its wearer Britt (Sunita Prasad) who has presented it and is wearing it to a special event.

Though she wants to take it with her, Jeff convinces her to lock it in the high tech safe for the night. However, when she arrives home, she is attacked and is only saved by Jeff and Zee (Sarah Lind). And the emerald broach is gone from the safe.

Murder follows.

I've never been overwhelmed by Jesse Metcalfe even in his Desperate Housewives days. It was hard for me to warm up to the story or the characters.

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 ) !!

Dr. Zee Madieras's friend, Britt Prajna (Sunita Prasad), takes center stage in this latest movie, or rather her long-lost family heirloom does. The Lakshmi Emeralds, a dazzling brooch worth $5 million, arrives at the Vineyard after being pulled from sale at a Boston auction house. Britt plans to showcase them at her own Pendray Hotel and has invited the town's elite to join her, but disaster soon strikes. Not even a full day has passed before Britt is attacked in her home, the brooch is stolen, and someone winds up dead.

A fairly strong entry centred around the theft of a Rajasthani emerald which leads to murder and intrigue. Jesse Metcalfe is on the case again after saying he is retired hundred times to the police chief and he assisted by the charismatic and beautiful Sarah Lind. Love her face expressions.
