Her Last Breath

Seriously, Hallmark???? You call this a mystery series??? The movie plot is as boring as the first episode. The leads were not in tune. I struggled to finish the movie but gave it up after one hour of watching. Per usual, Taylor Coke is so stoic and just a mediocre actress. On the good side, congrats to the hair dresser for toning down the annoying red hair from Episode 1.

Seattle TV consumer reporter Ruby Herring turns unorthodox investigator when the strange death of her friend, a celebrated health/fitness guru, turns out to be premeditated murder. Determined to find out who killed her friend, Ruby works in the shadows while forming an unofficial alliance with Jake Killian, the handsome Seattle P. D. homicide detective assigned to the case.

Quite a good mystery featuring a typical inquisitive reporter - well all of them are such - who is a few steps ahead of her detective friend. It's standard stuff, well worn, but entertaining. Taylor Cole is quite likeable and cute.

Not much of a success I'm afraid. Worst than the first one. The plot was dull and on top of that Taylor's Cole acting was as cold as a fish. I seriously beleive Hallmark should cancel the show. It is as bad as the Machmaker series. Hallmark have mercy on us poor viewers....

I watched a couple of the Ruby Herring movies and my general review of all of them are, Ruby is not really a likeable character. In one instance her friend dies and normal people would be upset or sad, she's emotionless and just keen to solve the murder. She has two looks, fake looking smile smirk or blank face. The detective Jake however is handsome and plays the role well. They should just make more Aurora Teagarden.

6/10 - a sub-par mystery, but the characters kept the movie engaging
