Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery

I miss them. This movie lacked the pizzazz of the others. No real flow between characters. And not even close to the book.

That is what is sad about turning books into movies. Very rarely do they follow the intended story line. Took me 2 days to finish it that is how bad it was.

I miss Andrea and Bill. I am in agreement with an earlier reviewer. At least let us know where the character went OR stick with the original plot.

There was no real feeling behind Mike and Hannah's break up. It was l8ke the heart of the actors wasn't in the show. They stopped having fun with their characters. So sad.

The mystery is fine - some new topics covered. I totally relate to the Swensen family dynamic, but the situation between Hannah and Mike is really dragging out - maybe Delores is right and Hannah should be with Norman after all! I feel like they're too old to take so much time if Hannah really wants to be with Kingston. Andrea and Bill are again missing here, which loses several dimensions with them having links to the main characters plus a young family as well - they need Hannah to be a mum to fill this void, or Norman to be a dad, or both, either together or with different spouses. Hope they make more episodes.

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 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 :(

Everything was going along nicely. My family and I had narrowed down the suspects to a logical two or three people based on their motives, opportunities, and means. And their ages. The crime occurred 25 years ago. Then out of the blue, the character we never even considered because he looked in his 20s (30 tops) turns out to be the culprit. In unison we said, "What!? Was he 12?" There was no attempt to make the character appear age appropriate. (He would have to be somewhere around 45 if he were the perpetrator.) It was frustrating for us, because it was an intriguing mystery. And even the perpetrator made sense--but none of us even considered him because of the glaring age discrepancy. Very disappointing.
