My Rating:

My Thoughts:

The two people I saw when I was watching the trailer for this movie before it aired was Cindy Busby and Kellie Martin.

Hailey

Kellie Martin is our heroine and sleuth, Hailey Dean, who was an assistant district attorney, but now she’s a therapist. Hailey is a good character, and I loved the way that she progressed throughout the movie. Kellie’s character Hailey is a great therapist. But she was a fabulous assistant district attorney. I think that she is an excellent sleuth in this program. It is great to see Hailey interacting with her parents and her family.

Amanda

Cindy Busby is one of the victim’s family members, and she is a nurse named Amanda Stone. Amanda has had a lot of problems in the past. This fact isn’t helping her with the evidence that they are finding. Cindy is a great actress and that this is another significant role for her. It would be nice to see the character, Amanda, again in another installment.

Danny

Giacomo Baesatto is Danny Morgan, and his character is Hailey’s contact in with the police. Danny is a great cop, and I hope that in the future movies that he comes back. I like this character and how he connects to Hailey’s past.

Fincher

Viv Leacock is Fincher Garland, and he is another in of Hailey’s friends within the police and the investigation. Fincher is Hailey’s best friend as well, and he is a great character. I love being able to look in on Fincher’s stakeouts and his eating habits. He is another character that connects to Hailey’s past but is still a great friend despite not working together in the DA office.

Jonas

Matthew MacCaull is Jonas McClellan, and he is going to be, as we all know, Hailey’s love interest. Jonas is someone that helps Hailey, and anyone around them feels comfortable around him. He is a brilliant coroner and wants to be a friend to Hailey. Jonas is fantastic as he is Hailey’s future and makes her happy.

Good Start

All of these characters are great, and I can’t wait to see how each of them goes about in future movies. Hailey Dead Mystery: Murder, With Love, is an excellent start for this entire series, and it is refreshing to see how it all started again.
