This is a Hallmark Mysteries series. The franchise noticed its building problem with its lead couple's faltering chemistry. This is their best movie so far. In this one, their lukewarm relationship gets some heating up by entangling Tess' ex into the mystery. There is real tension. The stakes are raised in more ways than one. It introduces a real conflict between Tess and Logan. This time, it's personal.

Story was good and kept you guessing. The cast did a great job. Loved the Tess/Logan story.

6/10 - game show set is a good addition to the Crossword Mysteries series, but is not the best it has to offer.
