Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major

Hallmark Mysteries and More has been adapting books for years, but this one is outside its usual 'cozy' orbit. While it has some of the hallmarks (ahahahah) of the usual Hallmark mysteries, a hunky police officer, brainier love interest, the setting of Ireland and ghost aspect set it outside the usual fare of librarians, caterers and bakers who solve crimes on the side. I actually had to give the movie my undivided attention since it didn't quite follow the formula. The scenery and wardrobe alone make this worth watching. I do find Tamara Mowry to be a bit of an over actor but she is always entertaining.

This is another Hallmark mystery, and actually, it's delightful.

Set in Ireland, it's the story of a woman named Gethsemane, a choral teacher who rents a house where a woman was killed and her partner was a suspect. He was later poisoned.

The partner shows up as a ghost and asks Gethsemane to find the real killer of his wife, as he was accused.

Beautiful Irish scenery, and I have to admit I was teary at the end. The lead, Tamara Mowry-Housley gives a warm performance.

One thing that was nuts - Gethsemane is the only one who can see the ghost. Therefore she is constantly seen talking to no one. I did watch another show where someone talked to ghosts, and he would pretend to be talking on his cell phone. Wouldn't that make more sense?

An interesting feature of this film is the presence of two lovely women who are not a size 2. I have to think it was deliberate. Mowry-Housley is radiant and a good choice.

Just to be clear I enjoyed this Hallmark movie. I don't usually like them as they are so predictable. This mystery was fun and in my opinion the acting was superior to many hallmarks other films. I enjoyed Ireland scenery and it was a breath of fresh air. The vistas were amazing and the quaint village was a wonderful place. The Easter egg at the end of future collaborations was inspiring to me and the future shows. It wasn't a girly movie as many Hallmarks are. What more can be said without giving anything away is difficult in 600 words. The fine Irish actors certainly brought this film up to a nine of ten.

Keep up the excellent work Hallmark.

I don't agree with the reviewer who felt that the positive reviews were from Hallmark employees.

I absolutely loved this title. Tamera was absolutely charming, and I thought this concept was fantastic. I'm glad Hallmark chose to adapt this title, I'm planning to request it at my local library!

I thought the whole cast was really strong and the scenery was so beautiful.

If you haven't picked up a new Hallmark mystery series in awhile, I would recommend this one. I really hope they make more soon!

Ps- there were some goofy parts of the movie- two adults riding one bike (that wasn't even a tandem bike)? I had to laugh. It's a very cute and well-done move.

This was everything I loved in a murder mystery. I really hope this is the first of many series. It was like a blend of the best bits of Murder she wrote, Randell and Hopkirk deceased and the Aurora Teagarden mysteries. I loved that this can be watched across generations. I have teenagers and elderly parents and both enjoyed watching it.

Its great to see that more Hallmark films are being made in the UK and Ireland as it makes them more relatable. I could see this being a long standing series and would welcome it. Tamara was great and came across well as a reluctant but intelligent sleuth. Well done Hallmark.
