REVIEW:
"Lacey and Brennan's "Terminal Descent" was so good. Loved every minute of it. Both Lacey and Brennan are much more relaxed and are now connecting emotionally. Loved it!" ~kitkat
"I have followed Crossword Mysteries since it's inception. Lacey Chabert (TessHarper, Crossword Puzzle Editor) and Brennan Elliott (Detective Logan O'Connor) brought this mystery to new heights of suspense in Terminal Descent, their 4th installment of the series, taking viewers into the world of high-tech & murder. As Logan and Tess teamed up to solve the mysterious murder of a high-tech CEO, it put a new light on their personal lives when they discover personal info about each other. To sum it up, Terminal Descent was full of suspense, even scary, but it also had the element of humor and a hint of romance on the horizon between Logan & Tess. I give 5 stars to Terminal Descent; its Writer, Director, Producer, Exec. Producers and Cast." ~Ann

What February Mysteries movies are you looking forward seeing on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries?
ReplyDeleteChris, I'm looking forward to both of these new mysteries in February... I might give a slight edge to Crossword, but that's just because I love Lacey and Brennan together! I think both series are great.
DeleteWhy does it seemimetbey are slowing down and not filming the mystery movies? Or am I wrong?
ReplyDeleteMisty
Misty, you are exactly right! I mean, compared to Hallmark Channel's roll out of 5 movies in January versus the one mystery, they are definitely running behind in quantity.
DeleteI do know there are several Hallmark mysteries that have filmed or are in production, including Mystery 101, Aurora Teagarden, and MatchMaker Mysteries... plus, more Crossword and Martha's Vineyard Mysteries are coming!
Do you know Kristian Alfonso is on Chronicle Mysteries: Helped to Death as Sheriff Williams?
ReplyDeleteShe reunited her former DOOL’s co-star: Ali Sweeney in mystery movies with Benjamin Ayres
Yes, I had heard Kristian Alfonso would be joining the cast of Chronicle Mysteries since leaving Days. Should be interesting to see her in this role.
DeleteWhat do you think of Follow your heart that you have seen on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries?
ReplyDeleteChris, I thought "Follow Your Heart" was a deep, interesting story. I enjoyed seeing her return to her Amish upbringing, and it was nice to watch her rediscover the love of family and true love.
DeleteChronicle Mysteries: Helped to Death
ReplyDeleteAlex (Sweeney) and Drew (Ayres) embark on a self-help retreat with Zach (Ian Collins). They are not on any sort of spiritual quest. During previous retreats, celebrity life coach, Billy Garrett (Munro), has been in charge. Can Alex and Drew find out what is going on?
Unfortunately, while Alex and Drew go undercover and find that a participant has died. Now the Chronicle team has to put together what has actually happened. However, Billy has a devoted following. They are staying mum. This means, Alex and Drew have to work harder to get to the bottom of this, before anyone else perishes in mysterious circumstances!
Does anyone know if the latest installment of Crossword Mysteries is family friendly?
ReplyDeleteSince kitkat said she loved it (see review above), I have no doubt it was family-friendly.
