Dead Over Heels: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery

I've been enjoying this series but now with this episode, 3 of the main female characters now all have the same shade of red hair? Did the budget not all Candace her usual bleached blonde?

I think this is the first time I was a bit irritated of Aurora as a character. There's just something so grating about how she handles herself and her relationships when it comes to her investigative nature. I feel like she only sees her reasoning but does not understand the concerns of people around her.

As for the plot, this one has a bit of holes in the story or feels way too big to weave into this low budget hallmark film. While I don't mind ridiculous cases there are times that logic just kicks in and sometimes sours the mood. I guess I just need to constantly remind myself that this is a cozy hallmark feel and take it too seriously.

Martin is away on a business trip when the police chief Captain Burns approaches Aurora telling her he needs to speak to Martin as soon as he gets home. The next day Aurora is trying to fix a leaky outdoor faucet with Sally when a small plane flies overhead and dumps Captain Burns' dead body in front of them.

Meanwhile Martin and Ro introduce Sally to one of Martin's old CIA colleagues, Tim Prentiss. The two actually hit it off, joining Ro and Martin for dinners out and attending the True Crime meetings together.

Arthur gets named as the new police chief and then ends up stabbed at Chief Burns' memorial. Martin is being framed for murder...and the True Crimes club is on the case!

Martin and Ro's romance is heating up, in spite Aida planting the seed that Aurora is afraid of commitment. Aurora finds a ring box in Martin's pocket...which has her behaving a little uncharacteristically and she seems to have a secret admirer...oh! And Martin is allergic to cats.

The best part of this series is the large but tight supporting cast. The writing and romance development is wonderful. I love that they continue to use the same actors for all of the supporting characters. I love Candace Cameron Bure and she together with Yannick Bisson have wonderful chemistry. This is the third in the series with Martin. I love the relationships between family, friends and colleagues. I wish there were more mysteries on Hallmark like this.

"I should spend more time in book stores."-Martin.

Not exactly the murders are the axis of story but situations, slices of humor, reactions of characters and Hallmark familiar ingredients , served by lighthearted misteries. A comfortant episode about new hunt of proofs and chain of theories of the same Aurora Teagarden , so charming acted by Cameron Bure.

Given the current climate in this country - unrest, frustration, unhappiness, bad news every time you turn around, Hallmark has come into its own.

After years of being a sweetness and light network of small-town family values and chaste romance, it's in vogue. People want to watch attractive stars they know from soap operas or prime time comedies in light romances and mysteries with happy endings and no bad language.

Though it's obviously geared toward fundamentalist religious parts of the country - you can tell by the Bible and holy water ads - lots of people who fall outside this group are now addicted to Hallmark, people you'd never expect. And who can blame them?

Dead Over Heels: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery is from 2017, and it's an episode of the mystery series that stars pert Candace Cameron Bure. She plays a librarian and amateur sleuth.

Aurora has a chaste relationship with her boyfriend (Yannick Bisson), and in some of the episodes, lives with her real estate broker mother (Marilu Henner). Aurora runs a mystery club that discusses old unsolved murder cases.

In this particular episode, the police chief falls from a plane - dead - into Aurora's yard.

The stories are okay and inoffensive, the wide-eyed Bure is cute and familiar to audiences who saw her on "Full House."

The only problem I have is with the look of the show - all the women have long hair and sometimes can be hard to tell apart if you don't know the actresses very well. I'm not sure if this is because producers think that people have no sense of style in certain parts of the country or what.

Anyway, enjoyable.
