My Thoughts:

Jesse Metcalfe and Sarah Lind are back in their new mystery.

I’m glad that this series came back, as I love this mystery series so much. These two characters (and actors) are pretty cool together, and the mystery is fabulous. I love that this is on an island as that is pretty original. I thought that it was one person throughout the whole thing until I was proved wrong at the very end. The mystery was great, and kombucha being used as a murder weapon is new, and I thought that was another great thing to do. Now I have a legitimate reason not to drink kombucha. 🙂

Everything happening in this mystery series is different from any other mystery that Hallmark does. Jesse does a fantastic job of being Jeff in this series, and all the plots are well written. I can’t wait to see how Jeff finds out about who shot him in his back, why, and who covered it up. Another thing is will the relationship work between him and Zee. I think that these two are cute together, and I can’t wait to see them in future installments of the Martha’s Vineyard Series.

Both Jeff and Zee have issues to deal with, and I think them dealing with those before they start a relationship is a good plan. You can tell that Zee is cautious with her heart in the other movies before this one.

The sets are lovely. This movie is terrific, and I love everything that happens in it. If you have seen it yet, you’ll want to watch it. And make sure to check out the first two movies too. Even my step-dad likes this series – and that is high praise indeed.
