To Catch a Spy

Unfortunately not very good acting.

I only liked the traveling part.

Was easy to know the killer.

As an ad for the Maltese tourist industry this works well. As an entertaining mystery drama, not so much. The story revolves around an American travel writer, visiting Malta to review a recently opened luxury Hotel. She already knows the owner and soon sees him falling to his death past her hotel balcony. What follows is a preposterous story involving espionage and murder. Naturally our heroine, Nathalie Kelley, sets out to find out who was responsible for her friends death, and why. In so doing she is able to uncover the truth, outwitting the local police and the FBI who are staying at the hotel seeking a super spy who has evaded capture for decades. So, watchable, but mainly for the great locations.

6/10 - while the mystery is unlikely to change the game, I loved getting to see Nathalie Kelley and beautiful Malta in this Hallmark original movie.

Low budget fiasco with bad writing and worse acting.

I don't know if this is going to be a repeated mystery series or not, but I hope it is. The setting of Malta was absolutely spectacular and the two main characters were great.

The mystery was compelling with our main character being a travel writer who travels to Malta with her staff to review a newly opening hotel that her friend helped renovate. Meanwhile, the American embassy has a theft that the FBI is investigating and her friend is killed at the hotel...are they connected?

Our Travel writer has a good head on her shoulders and very loyal photographer and I. T. guy...she is also a fan of spy novels/mysteries.

I really hope this is the start of a new series...because I would watch it.
