Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Reunited and It Feels So Deadly

I always like these movies but who do they think they are fooling? 20 year anniversary? Yeah if they didn't graduate high school until they were late 20's to early 30's! It's ridiculous to act as if these middle aged people are in their 30's. They aren't.

6/10 - Aurora Teagarden is back with a fun mystery with some familiar faces

Ro (Cameron Bure) and her best friend, Sally (Lexa Doig), are looking forward to a memorable night out at their high school reunion. They arrive to see that the campus big shots haven't shown much growth. Former lovers and homecoming king and queen Jack (Toby Levins) and Cassie (Kate Isaac) draw attention with an interaction that suggests they're not through as a couple. This puts Jack's wife, Amy (Tegan Moss), in a hot rage. Coach Caldwell (Jeffrey Joseph) from the football team also decides to light into his star player over a lawsuit regarding the latter's failed fitness company. When Jack turns up dead, stabbed and floating face-down in the swimming pool, everyone is shocked but not all that surprised.

Aurora Teagarden and her murder club investigate a school reunion murder in this snappy mystery. There isn't one dull moment as the plot snakes into plenty of avenues. The list of suspects are short, and expertly several red herrings leap out. The only thing I didn't like was Nick ( Niall matter )- I found him quite annoying with his smug look every time he confronts one of the suspects who once dated his now fiancée, Aurora. Aurora's previous beau played by Yannick was a much more likeable character.

This latest Aurora Teagarden mystery has our sleuthing librarian heading for her high school reunion and thinking of little more than the music she listened to back in the day. She's also sporting a new fiance in Niall Matter as she got engaged in the last film.

The last thing Roe and the others expect is murder, but one happens and it's one of her classmates who had a reputation for being a go getter and a promoter back in the day. Now he's gone gotten himself stabbed to death and the murder weapon is missing.

This one is painful for our librarian sleuth as she has trouble fathoming who among her friends could be a killer.

Marilu Henner is back as Aurora's mom and Dylan Sloane is back as cousin Phillip. For the first time since his introduction in the series Sloane is not in any trouble. So far he unwittingly aided in a heist, was a murder suspect when caught with weapon in hand, and has been kidnapped.

Fans of the series should enjoy this.

Nick gets to meet Ro's high school classmates at her twenty year high school reunion and consults with Arthur and the police on a serial robbery case.

Parker Stevens...Ro's high school sweetheart comes to the reunion as well as Jack Landon the football quarterback, who is a little down on his luck and being sued by their former coach for money owed. The embittered high school cheerleader and prom Queen Cassie...takes all of thirty seconds to cause problems between her former love, Jack, and his wife.

It wouldn't be an Aurora Teagarden mystery if there wasn't a murder...and then Jack, the quarterback, ends up dead in the hotel pool. Sadly, the list of suspects is long and almost all classmates of Ro, Arthur and Sally.

This is another great who dunnit in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery series, one of my three favorite on Hallmark along with Hannah Swensen's Murder she Baked and Mystery 101. Aurora Teagarden is loosely based on the Charlaine Harris series.

Did Ro date a murderer?

Nick was his normal wonderful supportive self and assured Ro that it is ok for them to disagree. Our usual team gets right down to...as Aida calls it "the real murders game of find the suspect".

I have enjoyed every Aurora Teagarden entry and this one is no exception. If you are not watching this series...you are missing out!
