    A little off. Skip if not a completionist. A disappointing entry with a few bright spots.

    Binge watching a series sure make continuity errors/irregularities more noticeable! "Last Scene Alive" had so many that I literally paused on separate occasions thrice and triple checked that I was watching the series in correct order.

    This entry in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery series was a little off in many ways. Here are three examples without spoilers (any details I use are mentioned within the first few minutes after the intro):

    1) Aurora very casually moved out of the house she fought so hard to stay in. Where she lived had no bearing on this movie and mentioning this was confusing and pointless. Aurora's tone didn't match her previous feelings toward her living arrangements.

    2) John was gone abruptly (along with Doig) and both Aurora and her Mom's feelings about this were way too casual. That's another gripe about this film: many scenes were either a little overacted, or a little underacted.

    3) Either Lynn was pregnant again (the other baby was never mentioned) or she had a reverse immaculate conception and the baby shrunk and morphed back inside her. A subtle shoutout to vore enthusiasts perhaps?

    The intro of the movie was good enough. The panning was excessive, but the intro captured my interest. Also, the last 25 minutes were much better, aside from one scene that was plain ridiculous while at the same time having a "Chekov's Gun" so pointless, it was shooting nerf balls.

    The middle portion was quite boring and predictable and if this was my first entry into this series, I would have given up on the show and series entirely. The guilty party was spotted immediately. I'm pretty sure this was not intended, and those responsible for this film were being sloppy. The acting was a little too big, the character makeup a bit too shiny, the camera zoomed in a little too much...just a combination of "not quite right" of many involved ended up spoiling a good chunk of the mystery.

    The writing felt rushed, it seemed like each scene was only a few takes and the producers said "good enough", and the capable editing team must have been paid for the assignment, not by the hour.

    Still, there were enjoyable scenes such as in the police hallway with Arthur and Robin who both acted quite well throughout. Also, something I did not realize until coming to this IMDB page would cause me to stick around if this movie popped up on TV so I could rewatch a few scenes. Providing more info than that -might- be considered a spoiler. Maybe just one more phrase: clever meta usage! An extra star tacked on for that.

    I certainly hope the rest of these Mysteries are more enjoyable and the script, character developments, and dynamic between characters are treated with better care.

    Aurora in another mystery

    Hollywood comes to Lawrenceton to film a movie - and in fact, the lead character is based on Aurora (Candace Cameron Bure). Written by an old beau, it's a mystery story - and becomes a bigger one when the leading lady is found murdered! Aurora's boyfriend Martin (Yannick Bisson) is a little jealous of the writer, who used to date Aurora.

    Everyone is a suspect for different reasons, but Aurora concentrates on eliminating people and finding the killer.

    The love story is convoluted. We say goodbye to John, and Martin goes to South America. Aida needs to figure some things out - John's involvement with the murder club is dangerous, and she turns around and dates a murder suspect? Sad writing.

    These are cute movies, a little old-fashioned in their presentation but nevertheless enjoyable.

    Not the same

    The movie was okay but not the same with John not there and Martin acting jealous. Plus why was Aurora living with her mom? Did she sell her house in the country? Don't remember hearing about that.

    The Last Scene

    I have really liked all of the Aurora Tea garden movies except this one. This last one was missing the wonderful combination of Humor, Romance and Drama that all the other movies had. I am not sure if it was the missing characters, the writing but this move left much to be desired. I do love the Aurora Tea garden mystery's and I hope they keep making them. I just really want them to be like all the others except this last one.

    Last Scene Alive

    Aurora's friend and mystery author, Robin Daniels, is back in town because his book is being made into a film. The lead character is based on Aurora herself. Martin is suspicious of Robin as he briefly dated Aurora in the past. Three days after the crew's arrival, the actress playing her, Celia Shaw, is found murdered in her trailer. Several people involved with the movie had problems with Celia. The plot thickens when the police find out that Celia was both poisoned and then clubbed. Meanwhile, since John moved away to be closer to his grandchildren, Aida gets friendly with the movie director. Another subplot has Martin preoccupied by the disappearance of his CIA partner, Rex, and he leaves for South America at the end of the film to look for him.

    The film sets setting and some fine detection make this otherwise routine entry watchable. It's can get confusing with so many suspects with the male actors looking alike. Not the best entry but efficient enough mystery. The killer didn't come as much of a surprise and I missed Lexa Doig- her character is the most entertaining.
