Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: A Game of Cat and Mouse

Well crafted story, good acting, nice constructed twist and tension and same soft crime rules . A smart episode about risks, jealousy, books - a great trip across crime literature, a good job in each scene. Short, seductive fist of traits for image for Aurora Teagarden.

6/10 - one of the more predictable Roe mysteries, but that in no way means it isn't fun and a highly intriguing mystery drama

This is the third Aurora Teagarden mystery I have watched and the best so far. This is not a murder mystery, but, as the title suggests, a game of wits between Aurora and someone who is committing lesser crimes and leaving clues, daring her to solve them.

This mystery has plenty of suspects. Could the perpetrator be a romantic rival? Could it be someone with a grudge? Or maybe someone who just wants to test wits against the Lawrenceton legend?

Teena Booth, the writer who has penned most of these episodes, gives us a solid whodunit that includes literary references. And the cast turns in some good performances in support of this entertaining mystery.

This Aurora Teagarden mystery is a bit different in that our sleuthing librarian is the target from the beginning. Of course this has something to do with a real murder mystery that took place several years back that got a bit of notoriety.

Several members of her real murders club are targets. But in this case they are targets for lesser crimes, some of them falling into the range of pranks.

When Candace Cameron Bure confronts the author of all these events and this individual is the murderer in that other case, you won't believe the motive. It is fascinating some of the things that can build up in a mind if you let it.

Nicely done, looks like Candace will be going strong with this series for a while yet.

A break-in at the venue for a Real Murders Club meeting leads Aurora to investigate cryptic clues left at crime scenes. The clues are quotes from mystery novels and Aurora enlists the help of Professor Nick Miller and his colleague and friend Bree (Tammy Gillis), a forensic psychologist at the college. However, when those close to her are targeted, it seems murder may be the ultimate end, motivated by jealousy over her burgeoning relationship with Nick.

There's not much murders in this lively entry of the Teagarden Mystery series, but it's refreshingly focused on a perpetrator who is targeting Aurora and her friends, and is taunting Aurora. It's a bit predictable in terms of who is the villain. I sort figured it was that problem.
