Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery

After all the other movies in this series, I miss the old settings and characters are missing. So disappointed that Hannah would have such a knee jerk reaction. She is usually so level-headed. I hope things are more back to normal in the next one. LOVE these movies and Allison Sweeney and Cameron Mathison. The storyline was hard to follow at times. It was still good, the 2 hours flew by, but used to having that good feeling when the movie was over. I know the stories are about murder but they usually have a happy ending for the main characters. Real life is so hard, we need these movies to escape for a short time. Keep making them! This is just my least favorite of them so far.

I lost interest pretty quickly in this one. Hannah seemed more like a teenage drama queen than an adult. And how does she keep the bakery going when she's out solving mysteries? Mike was wimpy, and deserved to have the engagement broken. The worst was seeing a patient wearing nasal cannula oxygen while on a ventilator. It's physically impossible - the writers REALLY need to consult someone in healthcare. (ANYONE!) The whole thing fell apart from that moment. Although it was pretty funny to see that Eugene/Ellis didn't have a single IV.

They need to step up their game if this series is to survive.

This one so much better than the previous 2021 Sweet Revenge. Sweet Revenge lacked chemistry between Sweeney and Mathison. BUT the chemistry is back and Norman is back to being his usual wingman persona. Norman in Sweet Revenge was very awkward. I still am not fully onboard with a new dark haired sister named Michele. I prefer Andrea and would love to see her back as well as some of the other characters that we saw on The Murder She Baled series. However, I am Really looking forward to seeing more installments of Hannah Swenson movies and seeing how the chemistry deepens with Mike and Hannah, will they continue as a couple or not.

I loved the previous Murder She Baked/Hannah Swenson TV movies. Not this time. First, how typically Hallmark to wipe previous family members from existence, in this case dropping in a new one as if she had been there all along. I guess this happened in the first movie called "Hannah Swenson Mysteries" but for me it did not hit home at the time.

How about, "Michele, it's so great to have you home after you were away so long getting your college degrees." Or, "Hey, I hear from Andrea last night. She and Bill are settling into their new life in New Hampshire. Bill loves his Deputy Police Chief job." It's just like Hallmark 's Good Witch series that, by the unwatchable final season had dropped, by my count, 4 or 5 family members. Does Hallmark think everyone is a newcomer to a series that had been on for many years?

I was also very disappointed in Hannah's behavior. In her obsession with playing detective, she wass oblivious to the position she put Mike in with both his professional ethics and his place in the police department's hierarchy. The only reason I rated this as high as a "5" was in the probably vane hope that Hallmark will clear up these issues in the future.

This tv series has lost that cute, cozy feeling and turned into yet another boring, mediocre dime a dozen type of "Hallmark Mystery". I love Ms Sweeney and can't exactly pinpoint the difference from the early shows. Where are the quirky characters? Where is the charming music?

I'm a long time lover of the books and was never crazy about how they interpreted many aspects. But now the wonderful small town seems like a medium sized city etc. What happened to Andrea? Michele is not at all as written- physically or personality- wise.

I just know it was not worth turning my Hallmark subscription back on and I'll be canceling again :(
