Riddled with Deceit: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery

Dr. Zee Madieras's friend, Britt Prajna (Sunita Prasad), takes center stage in this latest movie, or rather her long-lost family heirloom does. The Lakshmi Emeralds, a dazzling brooch worth $5 million, arrives at the Vineyard after being pulled from sale at a Boston auction house. Britt plans to showcase them at her own Pendray Hotel and has invited the town's elite to join her, but disaster soon strikes. Not even a full day has passed before Britt is attacked in her home, the brooch is stolen, and someone winds up dead.

A fairly strong entry centred around the theft of a Rajasthani emerald which leads to murder and intrigue. Jesse Metcalfe is on the case again after saying he is retired hundred times to the police chief and he assisted by the charismatic and beautiful Sarah Lind. Love her face expressions.

We really enjoyed this, though I figured out who did it by....I'm not going to say, you figure it out. The leads had very nice chemistry and looked good together, they were believable.

The reviews say this was filmed in British Columbia...duh and the settings were beautiful. Too bad it wasn't filmed in Martha's Vineyard like it was supposed to.

Worth watching.

You know the main characters and you discover new details about their past. And the broche with emeralds is a good start point for new suspence slice, suppositions, apparences and just good end. It is just nice to discover crime in style of Hallmark. Because it works more than decent, because you suppose than Bob can be a better police man than chief Madieras ( but the kind ingenuity of the last works so nice ... ) and because the romance story has few very inspired sparkles. So , the emeralds and tartar sauce as good ingredients.

Zee's friend Britt Prajna has recovered The Lakshmi Emeralds, a $5 million brooch, which her family lost long ago. A masked man breaks into Britt's home to steal the jewels and sends her to the hospital. Jeff and Zee go on the search for the thief.

I am more convinced than ever that Jesse Metcalfe and Sarah Lind don't have the required chemistry. The franchise should have switched her and Chelsea Hobbs. Somebody screwed up the casting process. It would be daring for Jeff to get into a love triangle. That may be the best way to generate more romance energy and quite frankly, it would be a good departure for this type of show to have more complicated romance. As for the mystery, it's fine for this type of TV movies. This franchise is more likely to rise and fall due to the romance rather than the mysteries.

I like that the characters' personal stories continue through the series and connect them, although the plots are different, so it's not necessary to see them in order if you don't want to. It was suspenseful and mostly unpredictable.
