Hailey Dean Mystery: Deadly Estate

Enjoyed the movie and characters. Enjoyed the story. I do agree with first comment regarding wardrobe for cast members it was odd selections and distracting like the teal dress in her office. Looked like a formal occasion dress.

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.

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.

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.

7/10 - captivating mystery, had no idea who did it
