Hailey Dean Mystery: Deadly Estate

All of Hailey Dean Mysteries and new ones should be on Hallmark. Love her mysteries and her acting in law. By working in law enforcement and retiring in it, it will stay in your blood. Their were good times and bad times, but very interesting every day. I respect the law and bless the American flag with honor. By working twenty five years, it was worth it. Hailey Dean's mysteries keep you glued to the television and waiting to see the next movie. She found her calling with this type of film. I pray that she will keep doing these mysteries on Hallmark. I see that a marathon of your movies is on this weekend.

Hallmark keeps pushing Kellie Martin, I'm not sure why. I was hoping her acting would improve from Mystery Woman days, but it did not. Her portrayal of the psychologist is flat and boring. I'll leave it at that. Other members of the cast do what they can to hold it up.

OMG Kellie Martin has to be the most boring actress I've ever seen! No facial expressions, no personality, just deadpan all the way through. Except I couldn't get all the way through. I couldn't stay awake and I wasn't even tired, just bored to tears. I decided my time was more valuable than to waste it on Kellie Martin movies.

Former prosecutor turned therapist Hailey Dean is approached by her friend Pam to help sell her late parent's estate which she has inherited. But when Pam suddenly disappears Hailey finds herself using her old skills along with some old contacts to investigate what is going on, something which the police believe is connected to a former boyfriend. But at the same time having started dating Dr. Jonas McClellan Hailey finds herself dealing with the memories of the past and the death of her former boyfriend in a shooting.

A less lighthearted mystery but adequate in terms of acting and story - it's mildly interesting, has a neat twist, however it can be a bit flat, lacking some liveliness. Also Kellie Martin comes across pushy and annoying with those deadpan expression. Her character lacks some spark.

I always enjoy the story line of the movies and find them entertaining. What I don't enjoy is the costume design. I am sorry to whoever you are but it actually distracts me from fully engaging in the shows. Kelly Martin, especially, looks awful in most of her clothing. I feel like there are so many other options that would look more flattering on her. Additionally, some of the of the other female actors wear odd combinations. Anyhow, I should be able to watch and not be distracted by wardrobe. Sorry...
