Hallmark Mystery Movie Review

Aurora Teagarden: A Lesson In Murder Hallmark + Mystery Movie Review

I loved the original Hallmark Aurora Teagarden series. It had exactly what I was looking for in a mystery movie series including a sleuth around my own age. I love it so much I didn’t want to give the new Aurora Teagarden series a try. I’m glad I did give it a try. It has Aurora, Sally, and Arthur in college and starting there careers. This new series adds a lot to the old series and all of the characters. To see where the characters came from. We rarely are given this chance. You also see the beginnings of Aida’s real estate business. This is a movie series based on the characters in the Aurora Teagarden book series but don’t have any books in the series for these movies.

In this movie, Aurora is at college studying true crime literature much to the chagrin of her mother Aida (still played by Marilu Henner). The mystery has many twists, turns, and suspects. The ending is surprised me and I’m sure it will surprise you too.

There are currently three of the new Aurora Teagarden movies out on Hallmark+ and hopefully there will be more to come.

Hallmark Mystery Movie Review

Mystery Island: Winner Takes All Hallmark + Mystery Movie Review

Mystery enthusiasts are invited to an island to solve a mystery. There is a detective, investment banker, podcaster, real estate agent, and a mystery writer along with all of the staff putting on the mystery. No service on the island for cell phones or Internet. Someone will die but is it for real or not?

This was an enjoyable mystery full of twists, turns, and secrets. I highly recommend!

Magical Cats Mysteries by Sofie Kelly

This is the first cozy mystery series I ever read so it’s near and dear to my heart which is why I decided to start my author spotlight series with this author!

The cats have magical abilities in this series but it’s not really paranormal. If you don’t like paranormal cozies still give this one a try. The cats’ abilities add to the plots of the mysteries. The cats also have a lot of everyday cat scenes.

Second Chance Cat Mysteries by Sofie Ryan

I love the multi-generational aspect of this series. The group of senior citizen sleuths really adds to the series and shows that we are vital as we grow older. There is also a teenager to add to this series as well as every age in between. Elvis the cat has a lot of fun scenes. He even goes undercover at a Cat Show in one of the books.

New Release Cozy Mystery I Read in February 2025

I loved being in Wagtail with all of the wonderful characters and great food. Holly made a terrible decision that I felt was completely unnecessary. Even Trixie and Twinkletoes thought Holly had lost her mind. The mystery was good filled with twists and turns. It was an exciting reveal and a satisfying conclusion.

Hallmark Mystery Movie Review

Reality Bites: A Hannah Swensen Mystery Hallmark + Mystery Movie Review

In full disclosure, I’ve never read the Hannah Swensen book series by Joanne Fluke so this is solely a review of the movie.

This movie is based on the Blueberry Muffin Murder by Joanne Fluke. A reality show comes to Lake Eden and films at The Cookie Jar. All is going well for the production and Hannah until the producer is murdered. I figured out the killer but I didn’t figure out the why but never fear Hannah did. This movie has an exciting reveal and conclusion that kept me on the edge of my seat. It also has a lot of humor thanks to Dolores Hannah’s mother who is as dramatic as ever. I definitely recommend this movie and series of movies on Hallmark +.
