Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder

This is typical Hallmark - the cute amateur and the cop who doesn't want her help but gets it anyway.

This one is cute , with likable characters. Maddie (Holland Roden) is a hotel concierge by day and works the tipline at the Detroit Free Press as a second job.

When she receives a tip about a jewelry heist about to happen, there is not enough info for detective Beeks (Stephen McNally) to act on it. When the heist happens, his boss isn't thrilled.

Holland Roden is a young Cameron Bure type. She's vivacious, bold, and irreverent. She and McNally play off one another well.

I'm ignoring "reconcilable differences" as I think it was a transcription mistake.

Hope to see more.

I hope they make more of these because I thoroughly enjoyed watching both Holland Roden and Chris McNally. They were fun and funny, had great chemistry and enjoyable teasing banter. Holland Roden plays an efficient and fast-talking hotel concierge by day and a newspaper tipline operator by night named Maddie. Maddie is enthralled by the local crime and she listens to an app that has an algorithm that compiles all of the local crimes for her. Chris McNally is the newly promoted to detective Detroit police officer Beeks. These two meet when Maddie brings in the cryptic phone call about a planned jewelry heist. With little to no details, it is hard for Beeks to take Maddie seriously. When a jewelry store is actually robbed and a murder occurs, Maddie sets about doing her own investigation...which is somewhat thwarted by Beeks until his boss has then working together thanks to some good instincts on Maddie's part.

This sets up a great partnership and I loved the banter..."detective pawesome" and all. The mystery was decent and I enjoyed the supporting actors...particularly the Captain Nyland (Jill Teed) and the tech savvy Ethan (Riley Davis).

I enjoy Hallmark mysteries with Hannah Swensen's Murder She Baked, Aurora Teagarden Mysteries (the original), and Mystery 101 being my favorites. This is the first one that has given me promise in a long while. This is a strong recommendation from me to Hallmark mystery fans and I am really eager to see more.

I agree with the person that said the female leads voice was very hard to u understand unless you turned the volume way up. It made it difficult to follow the story line. Her acting was good but the voice issue was distracting. It seemed she was pitching her voice lower for some reason .

Cheri's Mc Naly is one f my favorite's on Hallmark. I really enjoyed him last year on 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths. , 1 ghost. Fun mystery. This story is almost as much fun.

The acting is good from the entire cast. The story moves along well . Enjoyed the interplay between the characters and the back story about helping others.

I loved this mystery movie! It was the best mystery movie I've seen on Hallmark! Great Cast! Especially Chris McNally! He's a phenomenal actor and I love every movie he has done. He can make any character he plays his own! I love watching him in movies! This movie was the perfect role for Chris! Holland Roden was a perfect leading lady for him. They were fantastic together. Great chemistry! This definitely needs to be a series! I really hope Hallmark makes it a series! It has all the feels, intrigue, suspense, humore, and a touch of attraction! We so need to see this couple together on our screens!

First of all - the cast! I knew that I was going to love the movie, before I even watched it!

Holland Roden is so charming and pretty! Her character was really likeable and awkward at times. Very cute! Chris McNally is incredibly handsome! The chemistry was on point, which is sometimes hard, even for movies with great leading actors.

The plot was amazing, really different from the usual first the murder and then the possible suspects and who did it... Really clever and there was a lot of humor as well.

I am really looking forward to more movies from the series. This is so far the best Hallmark movie of 2024. Really enjoyable.
