Mystery 101: An Education in Murder

I've seen tons of Shows where a woman's pregnancy needed to be disguised. The Lawrence Welk show was outstanding in doing this. Now, I'm pleased for Jill that she is expecting, but you could have used locations where the weather obviously needed the coats.

This is the 5th installment in the Murder 101 series on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The murder in this one was a bit more interesting & complex than the others in this series, in my opinion (even if I already knew who did it LoL). The moment of the big reveal was a bit more violent than their previous ones. The acting was wonderful, as usual.

Another reviewer said they didn't understand the casting because Jill Wagner is pregnant but considering she was cast in her role WELL BEFORE she was pregnant since there are 4 movies before this one.I just think it's a silly thing to be bothered by. The first movie came out in January of last year (2019). It would be dumb to recast her when they could just cover up the baby bump. Kristoffer Polaha & Jill Wagner have amazing on screen chemistry & I enjoyed how their relationship has unfolded so far. I can't wait for the last installment.

I love this duo... They have great chemistry and you can tell that they work well together. This was a great mystery that had you guessing the whole way through. It was also nice to see their relationship develop and grow - - despite her father :-) I can hardly wait for the next installment! Hallmark, please keep them coming!

I love Kristoffer Polaha in his romantic roles and he makes an even better police detective. I've grown to like Jill Wagner more lately as a veteran Hallmark actor. And these two have chemistry.

One of my pet peeves with amateur detectives is when they go off on their own and take reckless chances, but this series isn't too bad at this so I can relax and enjoy the mystery. Not to say that Amy doesn't come close to death two or three times in every installment, but that's required for this kind of drama.

I usually don't do well on figuring out who dunnit in these TV mysteries, but in this one, I was leaning toward the real culprit. There were some blatant red herrings and when one gave explanations I thought they were a little lame.

I really enjoyed this one. I wish it weren't so hard to keep track of the order if you don't catch them all the first showing or during a marathon.

Once again, the writers surprised me, I did not expect that ending, i'm talking both the guilty person and the final scene (you know). I'm so happy that even after 4 movies they still do. The flirting between Amy and Travis was amazing, all that bulding up was so worth it.

I hope that after Jill's pregnancy and this pandemic they continue giving us this series because it truly is enjoyable.
