    Love a mystery but....

    I generally love these mysteries-Allison Sweeney, Lori Laughlin, however I seriously could NOT get past her hair. It was awful and so fake looking. Not sure about the acting, it was stiff. Didn't buy it, but I may take another. But the hair..

    miscasting

    Enjoying this film, but Shaun C. as the father is so confusing! How is he old enough to be the father? Too young to be the husband.

    Flat, dull, blah.

    I appreciate that Hallmark has to develop new stars but Taylor Cole is not what they're looking for. She's fine in romantic roles, but is just too flat and lifeless here. The supporting cast is nothing great either. Bring back the Postables.

    Hallmark casting needs a rehab

    I generally like Taylor Cole in her Hallmark movies (and still do), but while this movie at least had some chemistry between Cole and Stephen Huszar other casting was way off. -Debra Donohue and Shawn Christian: such a mismatch. In their first scene together, I was trying to figure out were they married? Was she the grandmother? What is going on here? Shawn Christian is barely old enough to be Taylor Cole's father (and looks even younger), but Ms. Donohue was wildly miscast. I think even the film editors noticed this, because these two were rarely in a scene together after that opener. Prediction: if there is another Ruby Herring, the mom will either be recast or she will be absent (died or away on a trip). -The sister: out of all of the actresses at work in the U.S. and Canada why couldn't they find someone who at least looked like "Ruby Herring"/Taylor Cole? Also, someone who had stronger acting chops.

    I agree with another commenter that Hallmark is rushing stuff and putting out poor quality. There's a place for these kind of movies (as seen by the ratings popularity), but have some pride in your product, Hallmark. You're damaging your brand.

    Bad Casting

    The plot is fine, the acting is good but the casting is way off. There is no way that Shawn Christian is old enough to be Taylor Cole's father, especially when they cast someone who looks motherly as his wife. Come on Hallmark, you can do better.

    • Trivia
      Shawn Christian was Taylor Cole's stepfather in real life until he and Taylor's mother, Deborah Quinn, divorced.
    • Goofs
      While the police can use evidence illegally obtained by citizens, if the evidence Ruby stole from inside the home were used, her committing the crime of burglary by entering the home to steal something would result in her being charged with a felony herself. The same is true of her theft of the watch.
