Prédiction mortelle

I enjoyed the first in this series but as the Episodes continue it's all so uninteresting and improbable.

The latest in the Ruby Herring series of mysteries from Hallmark has Taylor Cole getting a new job at her Seattle TV station changing from consumer reporter to crime reporter. A move that doesn't please all her colleagues but does give her some semi-official status for her work.

It also makes working with her police detective friend Stephen Huszar a bit easier. Their case is a reopened cold case of the murder of a psychic, shot while she was given a reading.

I have to commend the producers of the Ruby Herring series for having Mig Macario's rather openly and stereotypically gay character as part of the seriees. Macario plays Cole's friend and confidante and maybe thie could lead to a feature with some gay overtones in the plot.

I'm a big fan of Taylor Cole! I know these Ruby Herring Mysteries are not her finest roles, but that is in great part due to the writing. This episode, Prediction Murder, is much better than the previous two. Considering the 100's of movies that Hallmark produces annually, for our enjoyment, I think the series has a chance to grow. We shouldn't complain about the repetition of predictable ending and familiar plots or we could lose it all together. Just watch something else if you don't appreciate Hallmark type productions.

This is not my favorite mystery solving duo in the Hallmark Mystery Movie franchise. I am afraid I am more of an Aurora Teagarden and Hannah Swensen fan...and I am really warming to the Mystery 101 series. This series is somewhere in the middle of the pack for me.

Actually living in Seattle, I am somewhat annoyed with these series saying they are in Seattle but yet not actually being filmed here. Wrong high schools, wrong buses, wrong boats, wrong mountains, wrong police cars, wrong architecture....just wrong wrong wrong. That is annoying. Just say it is Vancouver or California or whatever...who cares?!?!? The mysteries are about the small details, yet no one is paying attention to the small details in the series. Jake and Ruby do not have the best on screen chemistry...which let's face it is why I really watch these "mysteries".

Will I keep watching? Maybe, unless there is something better out there...and right now I am really enjoying Turkish TV!

TV reporter Ruby Herring (Taylor Cole) is promoted to the crime beat. The police is reopening a cold murder case of a psychic from five years ago. After getting an anonymous clue, she investigates with help from her father (John Wesley Shipp) and police detective partner Jake Killian (Stephen Huszar).

This is the third in the Hallmark series. At least, she is now a crime reporter which makes her solving crimes a lot more reasonable. The series continues to have a chemistry issue. The guy is as stiff as a board. Cole could do something more with a better partner. I wonder if a change is possible at this point. Maybe in the next one, Jake gets killed and Ruby has to solve his murder. As for the murder case, it's not that well written. It's just questioning one character after another. It's not actually a partnership which suggests going it alone is a perfectly fine option.
