The Cases of Mystery Lane: Death Is Listening

I just watched the second movie and do not understand some of these reviews. I found the movie fun; it was a new twist on a mystery movie. I love the characters' on-screen chemistry, and their relationship seems genuine. It is light-hearted rather than a heavy "suspense" type of movie. The way the couple go about getting clues and getting at their suspect is excellent. I especially loved the "Salsa Teachers" in this movie. I would love to see Mystery Lane turn into an ongoing series of movies. I think this type of mystery movie is one that the Rom-Com lovers would immensely enjoy. This is almost like a Mystery Comedy. Something completely new for viewers. Maybe Hallmark is going to start a new category! This movie could be shown on all the other Hallmark channels rather than just the Hallmark Movies and Mystery channel. Please make more Hallmark! I am eagerly waiting on #3 to come!

I liked the first one and was glad to see another. However, I am not sure why the writers decided to make the husband sillier and made the wife silly. I think the writers wanted to make them a cute couple but did not pull it off for me. And if I were taking a swig every time I heard babe I would have been falling over drunk by the end of the movie. I am guessing there will be another and I am hoping they haven't started on the script yet. Lose the Babe calling and lose the silliness and the over acting. Give the detective a more realistic role and don't make him silly. Better script writing and directing is much needed.

The Cases of Mystery Lane have been fantastic. This series has been a refreshing change from the usual and both of the movies have been really entertaining and top notch. The cast is fantastic and they all have great energy and chemistry with each other. The storylines have been engaging and the pace of the movies in the series has been perfect and flow very well. Paul Campbell is especially good and his comedic timing and charm are fantastic! These are a win for Hallmark Channel. Love this series and hope that Hallmark makes many more of them. Watch them and enjoy The Cases of Mystery Lane series!

Listen I am not expecting Masterpiece Mystery quality from Hallmark, but I have rewound this movie more times than I can count since attempting to follow the plot. In addition to the putative murder mystery, there are about 5 subplots going on: each spouse is hiding a significant secret, there is some crazy tempestuous mother- daughter dynamics, and then some sort of frenemies situation. Hands down however the MOST annoying part of this movie is the MAN CHILD male lead, followed quickly behind by the incessant beating of the HEY WE ARE NERDS drum by both leads. I really wish Hallmark mysteries would return to adapting successful mysteries series rather than attempting to produce original scripts.

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.
