Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Fresh and Exciting

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There are so many Aurora Teagarden movies littering HMM channel this weekend that I thought I would give Candace a second chance. Honestly, I don't know if it is Candace Cameron-Bure or the way the stories are written that hate so much. Maybe both.Aurora is a complete idiot and deluded as well. But the worst thing is that she has absolutely no regard for the appropriate legal authorities, or the potential harm she can do to actually closing a case, or to her own safety. On a personal front, Aurora is rude, pushy, and inconsiderate to the people around her and she is more than a little conceited. Any success she has is mostly luck, but also a lot of persistence. It's true that most of these HMM series have a few of the same lame elements, but both of the Teagarden movies I've seen so far just pile them up one after another. I don't dislike most of the other series.

Aside from a dead body or two, this series is on the conservative side and fun to watch. I like the lead actress even if the writing isn't sherlock holmes. One thing I hope they will fix is the overly critical (and somewhat irritating mother). Love the actress who plays the mother but her character gets annoying due to all the snide remarks toward her daughter, who has a real mind for crime! More fun to see mom join in with the murders club and find a new angle with mother/daughter IMO. Worth watching.

This wouldn't be happening in real life or even in the backwards town they live in. Law enforcement wouldn't be this dumb or lacking in trying to solve a crime and Auroa wouldn't have gotten away with keeping that skull for as long as she did. Putting it in her mother's purse...really ? seriously ? not in real life She doesn't seem to have a real job as she comes and goes as she pleases but in real life that wouldn't be happening . For someone how allegedly has a masters degree, she acts and dresses like a 12 year old . The hair has to go. Its uncombed and awful. The dresses are shorter than her little girl coats and her accessories are way beyond unlikely in this day and age. How about dressing your characters like real adults instead of something out of a comic book

Candace Cameron Bure, a librarian with a taste for true mysteries, inherits a house. Some one breaks into the house. This leads her to a hidden skull with blunt force trauma in what promises to be the first in a Hallmark Channel series.It's based on Charlaine Harris' Aurora Teagarden series and is of the "Cozy Murder" variety of mystery. I am familiar with Ms. Harris through reading a couple of her Sookie Stackhouse series, which combines murder, vampires and Southern Gothic, and are cleverly written. Miss Bure is a charming actress, able to play an intelligent ditz; and although this particular movie seems to be mostly concerned with setting up the characters and relationships for future, the mystery story is well set up and executed. I look forward to future efforts, this latest Hallmark Channel mystery series bids fair to be a pleasing one.
