Great locations

As an ad for the Maltese tourist industry this works well. As an entertaining mystery drama, not so much. The story revolves around an American travel writer, visiting Malta to review a recently opened luxury Hotel. She already knows the owner and soon sees him falling to his death past her hotel balcony. What follows is a preposterous story involving espionage and murder. Naturally our heroine, Nathalie Kelley, sets out to find out who was responsible for her friends death, and why. In so doing she is able to uncover the truth, outwitting the local police and the FBI who are staying at the hotel seeking a super spy who has evaded capture for decades. So, watchable, but mainly for the great locations.

Beautiful scenery steals the show...

Mystery was a bit curious. Is it a comedy or drama? The leads and suspects were okay. A typical Hallmark story where the female lead, in this case a travel writer, finds a body and then gets in over her head trying to solve it. There's a lot of scenery to take in, but the script and casting are lacking in depth. Would not mind seeing more of the leads, but the supporting cast has little to do, which is fortunate because they can't act. Needs the charm of a series like Murder She Baked.

Great start...I hope to a new mystery series?

I don't know if this is going to be a repeated mystery series or not, but I hope it is. The setting of Malta was absolutely spectacular and the two main characters were great.

The mystery was compelling with our main character being a travel writer who travels to Malta with her staff to review a newly opening hotel that her friend helped renovate. Meanwhile, the American embassy has a theft that the FBI is investigating and her friend is killed at the hotel...are they connected?

Our Travel writer has a good head on her shoulders and very loyal photographer and I. T. guy...she is also a fan of spy novels/mysteries.

I really hope this is the start of a new series...because I would watch it.

Trivia
At the beginning of the film, Patti Murin's character states that the main character just returned from Iceland. Murin and Colin Donnell both starred in Love on Iceland.

Goofs
When we see her glimpse the body, there is a rather obvious area of blood surrounding his head. If a body fell from a sixth floor, there would likely be some kind of residual blood or DNA evidence.
