My Rating:
My Thoughts:
Wow! This movie was a rollercoaster of events. From the first scene to the last one. Just a whole whirlwind of information coming at us. We have two crime scenes and five suspects. Who did it? Well, you’ll have to find out by watching the movie.
I wasn’t sure how Detective Travis was going to be in this movie since Amy was going to a Seattle for this TeachableTalk. I shouldn’t have worried since the writers came up with a good excuse and I’m glad that they did. Travis and Amy are great together. I loved how they were able to investigate things even though they were in Seattle and not in their town.
The two dead guys seem like the two biggest jerks in the world. The investigations delved into the victims’ pasts and wow, not very nice people.
I do love it how Travis was a bit jealous of Tim when he learned about him. Then there was Amy’s reaction to Rachel Knox’s past with Travis. I can’t wait for Amy and Travis to start dating or realizing that they have feelings for each other. Graham, I think, has an inkling about these two and that he hasn’t tried to chase Travis away from Amy. So, Graham must approve of them dating at some point.
This mystery series is one of my favorite. The plot is always wonderfully written; the acting is superb. I especially enjoy the chemistry between the characters. I highly recommend Mystery 101: Dead Talk at all mystery fans out there.

We are real fans of the mystery series. Mystery 101 being our favorite. We are upset and confused that some of our mysteries are being discontinued. Can anyone explain why? We like the current diversity. Please don’t push more. Will we have to jump ship and go to GAC? I think I got that right. Not even sure where to find it.
Jen and I agree with you. GAC is supposed to be on Dish but we can’t find it. We have already stopped watching for the most part. We really miss these mystery movies.
