Mystery 101: Playing Dead

Amy is working on a play, when suddenly the main actress is in danger, so she and Detective Burke work together in order to discover who is responsable.

Can I first say this was AMAZING? Of all the things that crossed my mind while watching this, out of all possible scenarios and suspects, it ever ocured to me it would be like that. It was so unpredictable!

Second of all, Kris and Jill's chemistry is amazing. The flirty banter they share is adorable and I love it. So my congratulations to everyone who worked on this, but specially the writer.

I have rated Hallmark movies with 10 maybe three time tops? But this one deserves, let's hope they continue like this. Until September, everyone!

This show is always teaching me something new, this time Dramaturge.

In this, the second entry in Hallmark's Mystery 101 series Amy,our professor turned crime solving consultant, is the dramaturge for a local theater's mystery play production. While consulting the main actress has several attempts taken on her life. Meanwhile there are break ins occurring in downtown Garrison, Washington, the latest of which is the local pharmacy where the thief used a toy monkey to distract a police officer that was the first on the scene.

Travis and Amy join forces to put together the clues to figure out who done it, when our actress turns up dead. Travis does give Amy a little lecture about taking unnecessary risks.

Opening scene, hours before dawn, abandoned downtown streets, a lone lady jogger comes across broken glass of a closed store, glances at her phone to check the time, and then ...

does what? Dial 911 on her phone? NOPE! She does something dumb. And she's a COP!!!

I am not complaining about this particular movie, it was okay ..its well acted. My complaint is the ongoing disrespect Hallmark has for its viewers. This is an ongoing problem. Halmark keeps putting these AGGRIVATING promos on the screen while viewers try to get lost in the movie. Every one of these things has a "Hallmark movies and Mysteries" logi on the lower right corner like a permanent tatto, and a HUGE logo saying "Martha Vineyard Mystery priemers Sunday". ,etc. It takes up 33% of the left side of the screen. Why do this to people? You cannot unsee these irritating distractions. Very annoying! Shame on you Hallmark for such disrespect to loyal viewers!!

Pathetic writing. Filled with interfering with an investigation, trespassing, illegal searches and inadmissible evidence. Perpetrators would walk in real life.
