Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder

I Loved The Cast straight away Chris McNally and Holland Roden are magical together great writing, excellent acting (loved the small main cast) I hate when theirs too many people to keep track of. Loved that the writers didn't pair off romantically or have Beeks n Maddie attracted to each other or even admire each other until the very end it gave the hidden admiration more depth. The Mystery clues were excellent I didn't figure it out until the last minute and the secondary stories were neatly intertwined that it kept the movie moving along rather interestingly enough plus they were well connected too really Hope Hallmark makes it a series.

I hope they make more of these because I thoroughly enjoyed watching both Holland Roden and Chris McNally. They were fun and funny, had great chemistry and enjoyable teasing banter. Holland Roden plays an efficient and fast-talking hotel concierge by day and a newspaper tipline operator by night named Maddie. Maddie is enthralled by the local crime and she listens to an app that has an algorithm that compiles all of the local crimes for her. Chris McNally is the newly promoted to detective Detroit police officer Beeks. These two meet when Maddie brings in the cryptic phone call about a planned jewelry heist. With little to no details, it is hard for Beeks to take Maddie seriously. When a jewelry store is actually robbed and a murder occurs, Maddie sets about doing her own investigation...which is somewhat thwarted by Beeks until his boss has then working together thanks to some good instincts on Maddie's part.

This sets up a great partnership and I loved the banter..."detective pawesome" and all. The mystery was decent and I enjoyed the supporting actors...particularly the Captain Nyland (Jill Teed) and the tech savvy Ethan (Riley Davis).

I enjoy Hallmark mysteries with Hannah Swensen's Murder She Baked, Aurora Teagarden Mysteries (the original), and Mystery 101 being my favorites. This is the first one that has given me promise in a long while. This is a strong recommendation from me to Hallmark mystery fans and I am really eager to see more.

This is typical Hallmark - the cute amateur and the cop who doesn't want her help but gets it anyway.

This one is cute , with likable characters. Maddie (Holland Roden) is a hotel concierge by day and works the tipline at the Detroit Free Press as a second job.

When she receives a tip about a jewelry heist about to happen, there is not enough info for detective Beeks (Stephen McNally) to act on it. When the heist happens, his boss isn't thrilled.

Holland Roden is a young Cameron Bure type. She's vivacious, bold, and irreverent. She and McNally play off one another well.

I'm ignoring "reconcilable differences" as I think it was a transcription mistake.

Hope to see more.

Maddie Moore (Holland Roden) is a hotel concierge who moonlights at the phone tipline for the Detroit Free Press newspaper. She is a crime buff who often passes the tips onto unhelpful retiring robbery/homicide Detective Grazier but he always ignores them. Beeks (Chris McNally) received the highest grade and replaces Grazier. Maddie receives a tip on an impending jewelry store robbery.

Roden is an energetic spark plug. She has good conflict with McNally. The main drawback is that this is a Hallmark Mystery and the production is no more than TV movie level. I like the fast-talking Roden and McNally is a good grump. I would suggest turning on the closed captioning. It makes it easier to follow the mystery.

This movie was great . Great casting especially Chris McNally. I hope to see this become a series or at least another movie from Chris McNally he is just a joy to watch and these 2 are great together. It keep you going and they had great chemistry. I love they way they were with each other her a little kooky and him by the book detective who really cares . And they worked so well together to get this crime solved and she still never forgot about the cats case and he was aware of this young man who he wanted to help and keep helping him. It was a great combination of comedy and serious just loved it.
