Hannah Swensen Mysteries

I miss Andrea and her husband. I don't like the new bakery. Where are all the regulars? A new sister who has never been mentioned before? All new people at the police station. Eden Lake changed its name to Lake Eden? Hannah's mom is now a published author? Where did that come from? At least Norman is still there. I love Norman!

Really enjoy Alison but most of the rest of the cast needs to go. I don't see any chemistry with Cameron. Hannah's mom is the worst only next to Marilu Henner on the Aurora series. The long lost sister who was never mentioned before. Just UGH. I miss the quaint bakery. I wish she'd go back with the other guy. Points for a cute dog.

Disappointed in this one. All of a sudden a brown haired sister we NEVER heard of before? There isn't quite the chemistry with Cameron Mathison as in all the others. This mystery series was always my favorite of all the Hallmark signature mystery shows. And Norman? What happened there? Not the wingman of the past. I do hope there will be more shows though and we get that great chemistry back!

6/10 - nice for the Murder, She Baked series to return after a little while with a fairly run-of-the-mill, but plenty enjoyable mystery.

This is actually the sixth installment in the Hannah Swenson saga. I don't know why Hallmark decided to title it as another series. Nothing's changed, except we no longer have those elderly ladies gossiping in the bakery. We're also missing the blonde sister and the brother-in-law. And a new sister shows up out of nowhere. My best guess is that the actress playing Andrea wasn't available, so they had to write her out and replace her character.

The mystery itself is just as good as the others. And, once you get over the shock of the new sister, she's a pleasant addition to the cast. The mother, on the other hand, is at her worst in this movie. The script goes overboard with her ridiculousness. And, in real life, I think her debut novel would have provoked some serious drama in the family.

The love triangle with Norman has run its course. If Hallmark makes any more, I hope he'll just be a platonic friend to Hannah and Mike. And I hope he moves on with some other gal (Hannah's sister?).
