The Cases of Mystery Lane: Death Is Listening

The Husband (accountant) and wife (lawyer) couple, are both invested in their careers and the husband start investigating the crime and his wife enventually gets involved and start remembering how much they have fun together. Their both keeping secrets from each other, but they do eventually tell each other, even if it's very hard. But the actors in this movie are well qualified and have lots of personality and is fun to watch. I even laughed and was very surprised by the twist and turns still to come. I was surprised by who the killer ended up to be!

I was surprised in how well this pretend husband and wife meshed together. I haven't ever seen the actress before, and only the husband ( actor) doing other hallmark movies which he was always great in. The movie move along easily and I couldn't stop watching it. This is a very High quality movie. I was so happy when i found out there was an another mystery movie with both of them in it together.

I really hope that Hallmark continues this into a T. V. Series. In my mind it's better than (Aurora Teagarden).

First things first, a little diatribe: Paul Campbell used to regularly be in films where his comedic chops were allowed to flourish. Look at his earlier Hallmark films circa 2013. These days, he's in seemingly a half dozen movies a year and is only funny in maybe one of them. Let Paul Campbell be funny again! Like this film!

He and his co-lead have great chemistry, just like the first film. Not to say that it's perfect - some gags and dialogue fall flat, in my opinion. But overall they are great together and you can tell they think so too. They also present sort of a unique romantic dynamic I haven't seen elsewhere. The story never puts them at odds relationship wise, and while this might be unrealistic, for these films it is endearing.

They support and love each other. The drama in this film focuses almost wholly on the mystery at hand. Which is frankly a bit refreshing.

The mystery itself - which I won't get into here - wasn't as intriguing as the first film's mystery was. That being said, there was quite a bit of charming quirkiness and twists. Which is to say that it still was pretty good.

I enjoyed watching the second entry of the Mystery Lane Mysteries. The quirky detective couple are a fresh spin to the Hallmark mysteries and I love "Officer Air Quotes." The story was engaging starting with a cold case murder. There are a lot of familiar faces as usual which I always love. I like that they have a serious murder mystery but manage to inject humor into it. The main characters are flawed and relatable. There's no super slow burn love story because it's about a couple navigating the challenges of being a couple. That's a definite breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Silly, a little over the top - and delightfully entertaining!

Good to see that Hallmark will be continuing with this one. There have been a couple that have tried my patience.

The crazy detective couple, Birdie and Aiden, portrayed by Aimee Garcia and Paul Campbell, are adorable as they enjoy snickerdoodles at a suspect's home, build elaborate mousetraps, salsa dance through a nursing home, and drive the officer in charge of the latest murder case (Matt Hamilton) insane.

Lots of fun and so superior to some of Hallmark's offerings. Right up there with Hannah Swenson, a series I also enjoy in its various incarnations.

Light entertainment.

Probably a bit weaker than best Hallmarky mysteries - mystery wise. But I enjoyed this film a lot because of two leads and super cozy setting.

We meet Birdie and Aldon again, they are true crime fans, and have a chance to meet their hero. Except they don't: the author of a well-known true crime podcast is killed. Officer Air Quotes is on it, but even the Cases are helpful.

I'm not gonna ask why Birdie is allowed to skip work and go helping police. Or how does a mouse make a hole in one single page of a newspaper. Or why a police officer outsources most important tasks to a couple of civilians... Anyways I really enjoyed this installment. Love mysteries that don't revolve around the female lead and a police officer and the whole will they - won't they thing.
