I don't mind strong language, sex scenes, depiction of drug abuse. But you gotta give something else.
I liked this film for an hour or so. But then I noticed that I don't care any more. It's all the same, repetitive scenes about ugly vile people that are not even pleasant to watch.
As the saying goes: just because you can (make 3 hour long film with one idea in mind) doesn't mean you should.

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.

To everyone who says it's a rip-off or copy of some other show. There's a book series about the Puzzle Lady. First book is an adaptation of the book printed back in 2000!
I haven't read it, but loved the first episode so much that I ordered the book (author is Parnell Hall if anyone is interested).
I'd compare this to The Marlow Murder Club, but Murder Most Puzzling is much, much smarter. And less ridiculous.
It's a cute cozy mystery with fun characters and pretty solid mystery. Small town, quirky protagonist (Phyllis Logan is fantastic, so is Charlotte Hope who plays her niece), murders are not that gruesome. Just what I wanted this cold evening.
Looking forward to the next episode!
