Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major

Came across this movie on a rainy Saturday. Seemed like a perfect watch. Haunted Harmony Mysteries is based on the books, The Gethsemane Brown Mysteries, which I am now looking forward to reading. The movie was a fun, lighthearted mystery. Gethsemane Brown was looking for a new start in moving to Ireland becoming a music teacher in a new school, in a new country. This movie contained a cast of interesting locals, talented students, a specter, and Ireland. I liked that it didn't take itself too seriously but was a bit of wholesome family fun. I laughed and smiled . It was enjoyable. I am looking forward to this Hallmark series. Watch and enjoy. It was a bit of Murder She Wrote, Miss Marple, and Mystery Incorporated.

Having a ghost as a major character added to the fun of what would otherwise have been a just so mystery. With the lead woman and the ghost, there were several fun interactions. The only minor negative was the overused Hallmark situation of having two men pursue the leading lady - this happens way too often. And, it doesn't help that neither of them have any chemistry with her. Another fun aspect was the music and how it was being taught to the school group. And, this would be the end of my review except that this program requires that we keep typing and typing to meet their ridiculously long character minimum.

This is another Hallmark mystery, and actually, it's delightful.

Set in Ireland, it's the story of a woman named Gethsemane, a choral teacher who rents a house where a woman was killed and her partner was a suspect. He was later poisoned.

The partner shows up as a ghost and asks Gethsemane to find the real killer of his wife, as he was accused.

Beautiful Irish scenery, and I have to admit I was teary at the end. The lead, Tamara Mowry-Housley gives a warm performance.

One thing that was nuts - Gethsemane is the only one who can see the ghost. Therefore she is constantly seen talking to no one. I did watch another show where someone talked to ghosts, and he would pretend to be talking on his cell phone. Wouldn't that make more sense?

An interesting feature of this film is the presence of two lovely women who are not a size 2. I have to think it was deliberate. Mowry-Housley is radiant and a good choice.

I don't agree with the reviewer who felt that the positive reviews were from Hallmark employees.

I absolutely loved this title. Tamera was absolutely charming, and I thought this concept was fantastic. I'm glad Hallmark chose to adapt this title, I'm planning to request it at my local library!

I thought the whole cast was really strong and the scenery was so beautiful.

If you haven't picked up a new Hallmark mystery series in awhile, I would recommend this one. I really hope they make more soon!

Ps- there were some goofy parts of the movie- two adults riding one bike (that wasn't even a tandem bike)? I had to laugh. It's a very cute and well-done move.

Just to be clear I enjoyed this Hallmark movie. I don't usually like them as they are so predictable. This mystery was fun and in my opinion the acting was superior to many hallmarks other films. I enjoyed Ireland scenery and it was a breath of fresh air. The vistas were amazing and the quaint village was a wonderful place. The Easter egg at the end of future collaborations was inspiring to me and the future shows. It wasn't a girly movie as many Hallmarks are. What more can be said without giving anything away is difficult in 600 words. The fine Irish actors certainly brought this film up to a nine of ten.

Keep up the excellent work Hallmark.
