Prediction Murder

Big changes are in store for consumer investigations reporter Ruby (Cole), who after solving two murders has been upgraded to the crime beat. She can finally poke into these cases like it's her job and starts chasing down leads right away when someone leaves a note on her doorstep. The clue helps her find a gun that was used in the killing of psychic Rose Vitello. Rose's killing went unsolved and predictably, none of the suspects are eager to revisit the crime. They don't have a choice though when Detective Jake Killian is at hand.

Some of the suspects are Rival psychic Travis Tru, Rose's ex-boyfriend and Richard, also comes under scrutiny, as well as Rose's estranged daughter, Emily.

Despite some good acting, humour and a good pace, this is a bit of a flat tyre, especially in the first half, but picks up a little but doesn't raise up above average. Ticks the boxes for a time pass.

I really enjoyed this one. But found myself annoyed that when the character of Gladys kept looking familiar i couldn't figure out who she was by looking here. Thankfully the credits at the end listed her. Her name is BJ Harrison, and I was right I've seen her in several other things.

This is not my favorite mystery solving duo in the Hallmark Mystery Movie franchise. I am afraid I am more of an Aurora Teagarden and Hannah Swensen fan...and I am really warming to the Mystery 101 series. This series is somewhere in the middle of the pack for me.

Actually living in Seattle, I am somewhat annoyed with these series saying they are in Seattle but yet not actually being filmed here. Wrong high schools, wrong buses, wrong boats, wrong mountains, wrong police cars, wrong architecture....just wrong wrong wrong. That is annoying. Just say it is Vancouver or California or whatever...who cares?!?!? The mysteries are about the small details, yet no one is paying attention to the small details in the series. Jake and Ruby do not have the best on screen chemistry...which let's face it is why I really watch these "mysteries".

Will I keep watching? Maybe, unless there is something better out there...and right now I am really enjoying Turkish TV!

TV reporter Ruby Herring (Taylor Cole) is promoted to the crime beat. The police is reopening a cold murder case of a psychic from five years ago. After getting an anonymous clue, she investigates with help from her father (John Wesley Shipp) and police detective partner Jake Killian (Stephen Huszar).

This is the third in the Hallmark series. At least, she is now a crime reporter which makes her solving crimes a lot more reasonable. The series continues to have a chemistry issue. The guy is as stiff as a board. Cole could do something more with a better partner. I wonder if a change is possible at this point. Maybe in the next one, Jake gets killed and Ruby has to solve his murder. As for the murder case, it's not that well written. It's just questioning one character after another. It's not actually a partnership which suggests going it alone is a perfectly fine option.

I enjoyed the first in this series but as the Episodes continue it's all so uninteresting and improbable.
