MatchMaker Mysteries: A Fatal Romance

Our matchmaker gets asked to attend a romance convention, where an author ends up being poisoned to death. This brings Detective Kyle Carter and Miss Dove back together again. Miss Dove (Angie) also runs in to her ex-boyfriend who has come back to take over the family's publishing company post his father's passing.

The sister, her estranged husband, and a heckling fan all become suspects in the author's murder. When her ex is brought in for questioning, Angie calls her father, former detective played by Bruce Boxleitner, and tries to get information out of Detective Kyle. Angie proceeds to start looking in to the killer, if only to help her former ex...this starts with looking for the mysterious enraged fan. "Angie, I don't think you should be meddling in an active police investigation."

"Expectations can be like a blindfold. We can get so caught up in what we think we should have in a partner, that we close ourselves off to opportunities."

"My mother always said she had a way with words, too bad you couldn't repeat most of them."

"Romance can happen at any time."

I like both of our main actors...but I am waiting to warm to their chemistry.

I like the cast. Its similar style to the other hallmark mysteries, but i would say better than most story wise.

This one is eons better than the first one on numerous levels. Ms. Mckeller toned it way back which helped and the plot was more believable than the first mystery; however, I'm still not getting any chemistry between Ms. Mckeller and Mr. Webster, in fact there was more chemistry between Angie and her old flame Ethan than her and the detective. Overall Mr. Webster seems to be completely uninterested in the whole thing and it's coming through in his acting. He kind of comes off annoyed to be there. I'm glad I gave it another shot but probably won't be continuing with this series. In layman's terms, it's boring.

The second Matchmaker Mystery is much better than the first. However, the publishing guy has got to go. Mommy this and Mommy that. Sickening.

It was entertaining enough and of course the suspect with no obvious motive is the killer. I like the actors but not here. Zero chemistry maybe because it is only the second movie and they are supposed to be building up. The Mystery 101 series is much better written, suspenseful and portrayed. And Hallmark props... shame on you for the huge fake flower bushes from Michaels in the final scene.
