Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: How to Con a Con

Mrs. Shullivan and I enjoy guessing who is the guilty suspect(s) in any good murder/mystery movie and this episode did not disappoint by providing us with a smorgasbord of potential villains/suspects. Aurora Teagarden (Candace Cameron Bure) is at her best as the inquisitive librarian/mystery sleuth supported by her newspaper reporter friend Sally Allison (Lexa Doig) as they sift through oodles and oodles of potential suspects even as their friends and/or family members are placed in dangerous situations at the hands of the villains.

There appears to be some similarities between murders that were committed three years apart with a cord for strangling the victims still present around their necks. Similar to a scrumptious buffet table, you could almost see Aurora Teagarden salivating to get involved and get to the bottom of this mystery.

It's light and fun entertainment. Don't consider this series to be thrillers but more like romantic adventures and you won't be disappointed. I give it a decent 7 out of 10 IMDB rating.

Waiter, we would like another serving of another episode of Aurora Teagarden please. Coming right up! Hopefully before year end 2021)

When identity theft turns to murder in Lawrenceton, Washington you know that Aurora Teagarden and her true murders discussion group will get involved. Especially when it's one of her mother's clients that's involved.

When said client is murdered Candace Cameron Bure discovers that someone stole their identity and took out a home loan. As the real estate agent for the client Marilu Henner is attacked to get her copy of te loan.

Bure turns con artist setting up a sting to catch the perpetrator. It doesn't go quite to plan, but the villain is apprehended.

Even cousin Phillip gets involved. For once Dylan Sloane isn't the innocent suspect, but actively helps with the investigation

All this with the wedding of Bure and Niall Matter in the background.

Good mystery.

This has to be my third favorite Aurora Teagarden movie after The Julius house and A bundle of trouble! A huge step up from the last few movies!

I enjoy these movies but it makes me wonder...why would anyone want Aurora Teagarden as a girlfriend?

Nick is constantly in physical fights with the villains in these movies. Maybe as a professor, he enjoys this? Maybe not.

My thought is always this: one day they are both going to get killed by bad guys because they constantly put themselves in danger because of Roe's macabre obsession.

Sally has already been injured and left unconscious in a driveway in one movie and her mother was strangled and left for dead in this one.

When will enough be enough for Roe?

6/10 - one of the more forgettable entries in the long-running mystery series, but good enough for the hour and 20 minutes spent watching.
