Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major

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.

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.

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.

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.

Based aseries by Alexia Gordon. Now that I have watched this, I have 3 of the books in my Amazon cart! Getsemane Brown is in Ireland for a new job but, Her new home is haunted by a musician and only she can here his music and him! Now she is drawn into solving his murder and the murder of the love of his life.

I enjoy a good Hallmark mystery but this one was so good! A mix of ghost story, murder mystery and beginning love story (whom will she choose? Fellow teacher or detective). Here is hoping this is the beginning of many of these books being made into movies! Happy to see more diversity!!!
