Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Honeymoon, Honeymurder

It's amazing how shows move off direction. This one stayed on course and improved which was an unexpected shock after the Mystery 101 disaster ending. In that one they drag the love story along with. A bogus new fiancé in the picture after just 11 months. Silly, have them grow like Roe and Nick , it's okay to be happy and not drag the bottom line story through the mud again. If you aren't locked after 7 episodes time to find a new series. I'm into Aurora and her band of misfits.

Yes, I know Aurthor and kids went on cruise without their mother, but where is Sally and more important where are the actors? Aurthur had a bit part in Mystery 101, but is this the end for him here?

Not up to the quality of the 16 previous movies. Even Nick and Roe have lost the chemistry that has always been evident. Roe was so nosy that it was difficult to watch.

I enjoyed this episode and the location change. But there were two main characters missing and it was noticeable.

The mysteries are always predictable and Candice's acting just tolerable but I've always still found them enjoyable. Not so here. Something seemed "off" about it all and it's not the fault of Covid. There's no energy, the script and mystery are flat, the usual great chemistry between "Nick" and "Aurora" isn't there and the two missing characters are sorely missed. "Nick" just seemed like a spare wheel tagging along with "Aurora" while she frantically and fanatically forced herself into everyone's business. Her acting was much worse than usual and direction was poor. There wasn't anything "pre-honeymoon" about it. Not even a candlelight dinner between the two!
