Featured reviews
In this third instalment of this mystery series I was really hoping it would improve. But sadly, it did not, and the acting was even more stilted and unrealistic. Jesse, as Jeff, is easy on the eyes but just does not do justice to the Jeff character of the wonderful Phillip Craig series. Sarah, as Zee, is just too superficial to lend any credence to the story. She is a doctor but did not spend one minute in a hospital. The chemistry (which sizzles in the books) is just not there at all between Jeff and Zee. And the great character of Joe Begay is not part of the movies. He would be a good addition and provide some diversity. The best part of the movie was the scenery, much of which I have seen in person. If you have not read the books you might enjoy this movie. For those of us that have, it is an insult to the characters and stories portrayed.
Totally agree with other reviewers ridiculous blue Box. But The dialogue is so lame ! The stories themselves not bad ,but nobody really talks like that
There's a murder. Jeff and Zee are back to solving the case. Jeff is rethinking the incident which put the bullet in his back. It's the third movie in this Hallmark mystery series.
Sarah Lind loosens up a little. That's a good thing but the relationship still needs work. They didn't start the series with a meet-cute and their banter is not that good. I guess they're not going to accept my suggestion to insert a love triangle. I'm still hoping for flashbacks to their childhood. In fact, they should do a mystery which centers around their younger selves. The mysteries are not doing it for me. Jeff's bullet in his back is the more interesting case. I'm losing interest in this franchise.

Jeff and Zee confront the deaths of two community members on the eve of a fundraising regatta. Eli (Fred Keating), a doctor and Zee's mentor, gets chucked out the window by someone who appears to want a portable dialysis machine that he's been tinkering with. Across town, Bernie (Kehli O'Byrne), manager of the Winchester Art Gallery, is clubbed with a sailboat sculpture. It's unclear if and how the incidents are connected. In any case, two deaths might be one too many because no one picks up on poor Eli's demise until deep into the second act.
There's something relaxing about this mystery, perhaps it's the beach and the chilled atmosphere, but it's quite nice. The acting is adequate, Sarah Lind is very pretty, the investigation is standard but diverting. It's an adequately made TV mystery.

I really enjoy this series. This is a another good one! Lots of plot twists and misdirection. Jeff and Zee's relationship continues to grow and the mystery of Jeff's injury takes another turn.
