Concrete Evidence: A Fixer Upper Mystery

Renovation expert Shannon Hughes (Jewel) is fixing Mac Sullivan (Colin Ferguson)'s home when she finds a skeleton stuck in the dumbwaiter. A bracelet names the victim as her longtime worker's sister missing years ago. They all knew the popular high school girl. Shannon finds suspicious clues in the house suggesting murder. The friends need to dig into their past and their community to find the truth.

It's rare for a Hallmark Mystery but I am interested in the case. It would be nice if the suspects are played by more compelling actors but that may be asking too much from minor characters in a Hallmark TV movie. It's not so much whodunit but whydunit. This one is better than the first movie but I'm not sure by how much. On a minor note, it is missing the end scene where Sherlock explains the case to Watson. Even for a simple case, it's nice to hear it laid out by the lead character.
