A Complete Review of One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery. Apr 11, 2024

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

Andrea and Eric review Alison Sweeney's writing debut in One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery.
Hannah Swensen has been asked to teach a baking class at the college in town, but her equipment is tampered with, causing an explosion that the fire department ruled an accident. Soon, a colleague ends up dead, and Hannah begins to put together the puzzle of the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder. Hannah leans on her friends and family to collect the breadcrumbs of foul play and put them together, and meets a different side of law and order when Lake Eden's prosecuting attorney, Chad Norton, enters her life.
In addition to being Alison's first time crafting a story from the Joanne Fluke characters, it also marked the introduction of Victor Webster to the Hannah Swensen franchise.
Was Alison successful in writing her first screenplay? Did Victor Webster soften the blow of Cameron Mathison leaving the series to join GAF?
We answer these questions and a whole lot more.

A Complete Review of Morning Show Mysteries: Countdown to Murder Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

The murder of a supermarket owner puts TV chef Billie Blessings and Detective Ian Jackson on the trail of a possible serial killer while they come to terms with their blossoming romance.
We tackled Morning Show Mysteries: Countdown to Murder in this week's epidode. This was a mystery on which they definitely did not agree. While we both agreed that Holly Robinson Peete is a traffic actor and he supporting cast is fun, The story and mystery are another thing.
Finally, we wrap up with the finale of season two, The Way Home. In this segment, there was very little we agreed on.

A Complete Review of After All These Years Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

This movie was unlike any other Hallmark movie. It featured smoking, rampant adultery, and sex jokes. Was this really a Hallmark mystery?
That is the question we tackle in our complete review of After All These Years, released in 2013. This cray movie stars Wendie Malick, Gregory Harison, Martha Burns, and Andrea Martin.
"When a woman is wrongly accused of the death of her ex-husband, she sets out to solve the murder mystery and find the real killer before the day of the funeral, when she is to be taken into custody."
The Hallmark description certainly does not do this comedy that masquerades as a mystery. There is a hijynx and honest-to-goodness laughing-out-loud in this one.

A Conversation with Hallmark Legend Alison Sweeney. Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

It is not every day you can talk to a Hallmark trailblazer that has created not one, but two of the most iconic sleuthers in Hallmark History: Hannah Swensen and Alex McPherson (Chronicle Mysteries).
But that is exactly who Alison Sweeney is.
We learned that, unlike most Hallmark talent who are simply cast in their roles, Alison actually creates her characters and stories and pitches them to Hallmark. Her true driving force is her fans, and she makes sure she creates stories that appeal to them.
We, of course, dive into the new Hannah Swensen mystery, One Bad Apple. We chat about the casting of Victor Webster to replace Cameron Mathison, the return or Norman and Andrea, and her first foray into writing a mystery.
And it wouldn't be a Hallmark Mysteries and More podcast if there wasn't at least one big clue to get sleuthers excited.

A Complete Review of Crimes of Passion: Killer Clutch Mar 21, 2024

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

Andrea and Eric hit the runways of Paris for this high adventure review of Hallmark's latest mystery, Crimes of Fashion: Killer Clutch. This new mystery features Brooke D'Orsay and Gilles Marini.
An American fashion psychologist, hired to coach a fashion designer, helps a guarded French detective unravel a list of fashionable suspects after a murder happens backstage of a Paris fashion show.
While there was some guarded optimism for this mystery, Andrea and Eric and seemingly most of our Instagram followers enjoyed it.
Then they turned their attention to jumping in the pond for a review of the latest episode of The Way Home. While Andrea thought it was the best of the season, Eric is not so keen.

Speaking of bombshell hints, Joel Rice of Muse teases us with news of a new project they are working on with another Hallmark mystery superstar that many fans have been begging to see in another mystery.

Nikki DeLoach and Megan McNulty: A Dual Force of Energy, Change, and Talent Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

We wanted to talk to Nikki DeLoach and Megan McNulty, the writing partners who crafted True Justice: Family Ties. But we didn't expect such an open and honest conversation that went so far beyond the world of Hallmark mysteries.
In this authentic and transparent conversation, they candidly shared stories of their friendship, families, careers, and faith. They share some really personal stories but also some of the fun behind the scenes of making some of our favorite Hallmark movies.
This is definitely an episode you are going to want to listen to.

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

We had the incredible opportunity to talk with Lisa Hamilton Daly, the EVP of Programming at Hallmark Media, about the launch of the new Mystery Channel and what sleuthers can expect.
You will definitely want to listen to this episode as she gives some VERY big hints of upcoming mysteries, including Signed, Seal, Delivered. There are even some clues to expect in the much-awaited follow-ups to Cut, Color, Murder, Nikki and Nora, as well as Franchesca Quinn.
In addition, she lays out Hallmark's plans to slow down releasing new mysteries and get to making the follow-ups to mysteries like Mystery Island and The Cases of Mystery Lane. She may even have hinted that Travis Burke will appear with Goldy and Tom in Curious Caterer.
This episode is jam-packed with answers we have all wanted to hear.
Enjoy.

Review of the New Hallmark Mystery - CrimeTime: Freefall Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

You got the Crime. We got the time.
Hadley Warner (Greenwood), an experienced crime series actress, comes to a crossroads in her life and career when her television show is canceled. Unsure of her next step in life, she moves her family into the small mountain town of Mystic, Colorado, leaving her Los Angeles lifestyle behind.
To her surprise, she is propelled back into her “old life” when a body seemingly falls from the sky and into her backyard. Hadley unexpectedly decides that with her years of character study and experience playing an on-screen crime investigator, she will help Detective Shawn Caden (Macfarlane) solve the case.
Shawn isn’t initially a fan of her work or help, but he soon realizes Hadley is a fountain of knowledge and can act out of any situation with so much charm that he starts to fall for her.
Andrea and Eric had a blast discussing the latest Hallmark mystery, CrimeTime: Freefall, starring Lyndie Greenwood and Luke Macfarlane.
This mystery had a lot of laughs and introduced us to one of our favorite supporting characters, Bax.
We dissect what worked and what parts we felt fell a little short. But there were definitely more highlights in the whacky mystery.
Then we try to figure out where in the heck The Way Home is headed. The more we watch it, and the more we discuss it, the more we seem to be wavering between being lost and just generally disinterested.
