My Rating:

My Thoughts:

Tess Harper and Logan O’Connor are played by Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott. Those two have such awesome chemistry, and they act well together.

Tess is a great character, and I love the way that she goes about helping Logan even though he didn’t want her help. However, by the end he welcomed it. Logan is a detective that was assigned the case to solve the owner of an art gallery’s murder.

I loved how the crosswords were worked into a pretty unique crimes. Each character was excellent, and the actors especially played them well. Lacey and Barbara are such good actresses, and I liked their portrayal of aunt and niece. I also loved Brennan and John relationship as father and son, which was quite funny.

The mystery was excellent and it kept me guessing.

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has another hit on the network. I highly recommend this mystery.
