    not for the serious film lover, like candy floss for the eyes

    I guess if you like these not even 'B' movies, closer to D, youll like this but it like biege paint drying on a biege wall. You could go out for 10 mins come back and feel as though youve not missed anything. The people seem pleasant enough, kinda look like they have been in long running soap opera's i cant think of the u.s ones are, but i believe one is general hospital ? Anyway if you just want to miss some time in your lives and not feel fullfilled watch this. You know, its not gripping it dosnt test your brain, as i said its like watching paint dry. There are a lot of these hallmark/style films.

    Better than the first two...

    Ainsley Mcgregor Yarnmaker is much improved from the first two installments of this series. The filmography is better and the pacing is improved, but I just can't get passed the miscast. The actor who plays her brother should've been cast as her love interest! They have a better dynamic and rapport, and Dunne's character is just more solid. There is zero chemistry between Bure and Ashmore. I think giving Bure a new love interest who has similar acting chops as Bure would help this series. We have to believe she is actually attracted to the man! Ashmore's character is too goofy and clueless to be her equal. He definitely seems more like her little brother.

    I loved Bure as Aurora Teagarden. Even though it was far fetched that a librarian would always be ahead of the detectives, the writing was interesting and supporting cast perfect. Hope Bure won't give up on this genre but will serve us devoted fans something closer to Aurora Teagarden Mysteries.

    got better

    New film about Ainsley McGregor was quite boring at first. I really wanted to drop it, but I sat through the whole thing, and it did get better!

    The mystery was OK, the setting - preposterous as usually. But that's the genre. So the premise: a wealthy heiress who used to live in Sweet River comes to town with her entourage and gets killed.

    Of course Ainsley is investigating. Her sheriff brother and firefighter love-interest do their best to help.

    What I'm not loving is the book club. It looks too strained, too forced. Like, look at all those quirky characters from a small town! How different and fun they are. They are not. As fake as everything about that town is, they are the worst.

    That's why I didn't like the first half of the film: too much of the book club people, too much of their arts shop nonsense. I still don't understand why Ainsley has to be a criminologist, professor of criminology, own a craft market, and be the sheriff's brother. All at once! When does she find time for all that? Too many reasons to meddle with the investigation!

    Loved that the mystery really picked up the pace and finished strong.

    Certainly not a Hallmark movie.

    Seems like a Hallmark knock off. The main character solves mysteries with her Book Club members... She runs a craft shop, not a librarian, has a budding romance with fireman, not the cop but... has a dog, not a cat, still sounds a lot like one of those other mystery series... mmm what was the name of that one with Aurora .... The writing is far less polished... it is just okay.

    Cute Mystery

    Another great Murder Mystery! I am so glad Great American Family is making mysteries.

    I love Aaron Ashmore, Robin Dunne, and Candace Cameron Bure they are so great together! This was a sweet funny mystery. They don't take themselves too seriously. I have never read the books but the movies definitely make me want to. I am becoming to like the supporting characters also. In this movie everyone seems more comfortable together and they are getting into a nice groove.

    I hope they make a few more Ainsley McGregor Mysteries. I believe there are five books so at least five movies.

    Ainsley packs a good punch too. Lol.
