The Cases of Mystery Lane: Death Is Listening

Silly, a little over the top - and delightfully entertaining!

Good to see that Hallmark will be continuing with this one. There have been a couple that have tried my patience.

The crazy detective couple, Birdie and Aiden, portrayed by Aimee Garcia and Paul Campbell, are adorable as they enjoy snickerdoodles at a suspect's home, build elaborate mousetraps, salsa dance through a nursing home, and drive the officer in charge of the latest murder case (Matt Hamilton) insane.

Lots of fun and so superior to some of Hallmark's offerings. Right up there with Hannah Swenson, a series I also enjoy in its various incarnations.

Light entertainment.

The Cases of Mystery Lane have been fantastic. This series has been a refreshing change from the usual and both of the movies have been really entertaining and top notch. The cast is fantastic and they all have great energy and chemistry with each other. The storylines have been engaging and the pace of the movies in the series has been perfect and flow very well. Paul Campbell is especially good and his comedic timing and charm are fantastic! These are a win for Hallmark Channel. Love this series and hope that Hallmark makes many more of them. Watch them and enjoy The Cases of Mystery Lane series!

I enjoyed watching the second entry of the Mystery Lane Mysteries. The quirky detective couple are a fresh spin to the Hallmark mysteries and I love "Officer Air Quotes." The story was engaging starting with a cold case murder. There are a lot of familiar faces as usual which I always love. I like that they have a serious murder mystery but manage to inject humor into it. The main characters are flawed and relatable. There's no super slow burn love story because it's about a couple navigating the challenges of being a couple. That's a definite breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Probably a bit weaker than best Hallmarky mysteries - mystery wise. But I enjoyed this film a lot because of two leads and super cozy setting.

We meet Birdie and Aldon again, they are true crime fans, and have a chance to meet their hero. Except they don't: the author of a well-known true crime podcast is killed. Officer Air Quotes is on it, but even the Cases are helpful.

I'm not gonna ask why Birdie is allowed to skip work and go helping police. Or how does a mouse make a hole in one single page of a newspaper. Or why a police officer outsources most important tasks to a couple of civilians... Anyways I really enjoyed this installment. Love mysteries that don't revolve around the female lead and a police officer and the whole will they - won't they thing.

I just watched the second movie and do not understand some of these reviews. I found the movie fun; it was a new twist on a mystery movie. I love the characters' on-screen chemistry, and their relationship seems genuine. It is light-hearted rather than a heavy "suspense" type of movie. The way the couple go about getting clues and getting at their suspect is excellent. I especially loved the "Salsa Teachers" in this movie. I would love to see Mystery Lane turn into an ongoing series of movies. I think this type of mystery movie is one that the Rom-Com lovers would immensely enjoy. This is almost like a Mystery Comedy. Something completely new for viewers. Maybe Hallmark is going to start a new category! This movie could be shown on all the other Hallmark channels rather than just the Hallmark Movies and Mystery channel. Please make more Hallmark! I am eagerly waiting on #3 to come!
