Gourmet Detective: Eat, Drink, and Be Buried

Maggie has to be the most inept cop ever. This is the fourth time she's been disarmed by a suspect. She'd have been dismissed or put on leave a long time ago. Cops are taught to be alert and ready for anything, yet over and over she manages to get herself into situations where a suspect ends up with her gun.

That said, I like the chemistry between Henry and Maggie. I also enjoyed seeing Henry make peace with his dad. I'm hoping to see that relationship bloom more in the next movie in the series.

With this series, the mystery is so tied up in money and business that it's boring. Maggie is always incompetent as a detective; whether not being sneaky AT ALL, always getting knocked out or incapacitated in some way, etc. Their relationship has no warmth or romance at all. I think the stories could be better if it were acted out better.

Henry and Maggie attend the birthday party of a local publisher, where his son and stepson reenact a historical 18th century dual. Someone, however, has loaded the antique pistol with a real musket ball, so when son pulls the trigger, he kills his stepbrother in front of a roomful of witnesses. Henry and Maggie have to figure out who wanted the stepson dead and why.

Another above average Gourmet detective episode with a likeable lead actor and a bossy lead actress, though she comes across here less grating with her sarcasm as shown in other episodes. She can be still harsh in her statements to her boyfriend-consultant. The suspects are top notch, there's enough twists to keep one absorbed.

What a boring movie. Like all the Canadian movies. It's like a soap but in a movie. We can count on one hand all the good movies Canadians did

Anything with bruce boxlighter in it, well, its like trying to watch a cat eat a porkypine
