Movie: Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For the Watchmaker
Premiere Date: Saturday, January 10th at 8pm/7c
Starring: Candace Cameron Bure, Aaron Ashmore, and Robin Dunne
Storyline: In Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Watchmaker, Ainsley McGregor thought craft markets and book clubs, not corpses, would define her new life back home in Sweet River. That is until a beloved member of the book club raises a cold case involving her late husband who was found murdered over his rare antique watch. Ainsley springs into action to untangle a web of small town secrets before the killer winds the clock down on the next victim.

Movie Reviews:
🔎 I streamed Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Watchmaker on Pure Flix, and absolutely loved it! This, in my opinion, is the best "Ainsley" mystery, so far! You could sense a deeper connection with all of the characters, and not only was the mystery intriguing, but the pace of the story was engaging, with clever dialogue. My guess of who-dun-it was right, but that also made it a fun watch.
I especially liked how the book club was more actively involved in solving a cold case, adding both heart and humor to the investigation. A new character is introduced who is wonderfully quirky and instantly memorable. I truly hope we see him again in future episodes.
Also, I liked that Jake was still his usual self, silly and friendly, but he also seemed more mature, confident, and capable. When Ainsley's life is in jeopardy, Jake stays the night at her home on the couch with Ainsley's adorable dog, George. I enjoyed seeing more of his strong, protective side.
This movie was sooo good; it reminded me of how much I always enjoyed the "Aurora Teagarden" mysteries. It has that same cozy mystery feel. I sure hope Great American Family plans to continue this mystery series- since I had such a wonderful *time* watching "A Case for the Watchmaker"! ~Net
🔎 Watching Ainsley now and enjoying every moment. Looking at the new schedule, looks like a great season ~Anonymous
🔎 A Case for the Watchmaker is sooo good! -Maria
🔎 The new Ainsley is fantastic! One thing I thought was great about it, was that it was a cold case, so this small town doesn’t really have that many current murders to solve.
🔎 The book club was very involved, which I liked. It’s cute they still can’t come up with a new name to call themselves. I think they should just stick with book club.
🔎 Candace looked so pretty, as usual. I liked seeing her longer hair again. Christie
🔎 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: Case for a Watchmaker review
I wasn’t a big fan of the first two, but this one was a big improvement!! I liked that she had more scenes with her corner friend. But really appreciated how honest and faithful Jake was when his ex showed up. And her told Ainsley the truth right way that the mayor texted him. Ainsley never had to doubt him. I would have liked to see more possible suspects, but the mystery was enjoyable.~Abigail
🔎 "Ainsley Mcgregor" - I have to agree with everyone here. This installment was definitely the best one of the series so far. We figured out who did it early on, but it was still an enjoyable ride, nonetheless. :-) The main characters all seem very comfortable in their roles now. I liked the supporting characters this time around too. I hope the series continues. ~Joan
🔎 Also watched A Case For The Watch Maker! Awesome! Best one yet – Joyce in Carolina
🔎 The Ainsley MacGregor Mysteries latest feature was outstanding! The characters are now defined and presenting some great performances. The series is developing with sharp writing. I certainly look forward to more AMM. -Gabe’s Mom

I'm really looking forward in the new year to seeing more of the original series Great American Family has created. The series Abilene is new to me, though. I discovered a show with this title, produced by Faith Street Films, on YouTube, and you can currently watch the first episode for free. If you'd like to check it out: *click here*. (Please know: I don't know for certain if this is the same Abilene series GAF is referring to, but I think there's a good chance that it is.)
Hope you'll enjoy the new mystery - and all that is to come in 2026!

Can’t wait to see the new Ainsley. I hope they plan to make more of them. I wonder if GAF will eventually make more mysteries.
ReplyDeleteAppears that GAF will be filling the calendar with some great series before the Christmas season. looking forward to them.
