Aside from a dead body or two, this series is on the conservative side and fun to watch. I like the lead actress even if the writing isn't sherlock holmes. One thing I hope they will fix is the overly critical (and somewhat irritating mother). Love the actress who plays the mother but her character gets annoying due to all the snide remarks toward her daughter, who has a real mind for crime! More fun to see mom join in with the murders club and find a new angle with mother/daughter IMO. Worth watching.

This wouldn't be happening in real life or even in the backwards town they live in. Law enforcement wouldn't be this dumb or lacking in trying to solve a crime and Auroa wouldn't have gotten away with keeping that skull for as long as she did. Putting it in her mother's purse...really ? seriously ? not in real life She doesn't seem to have a real job as she comes and goes as she pleases but in real life that wouldn't be happening . For someone how allegedly has a masters degree, she acts and dresses like a 12 year old . The hair has to go. Its uncombed and awful. The dresses are shorter than her little girl coats and her accessories are way beyond unlikely in this day and age. How about dressing your characters like real adults instead of something out of a comic book

I've watched three different Hallmark mystery series recently, and Aurora Teagarden is the one I've enjoyed the most. And it's mainly because of the main character, who is adorable, and I think fits this part perfectly. You may remember her as D.J. Tanner from Full House, or have recently seen her on Fuller House. I also feel as if the mysteries themselves are a bit deeper than the other series, with more twists and turns.Another reason why I enjoyed this movie so much is that she's a librarian, is part of a True Murders book club, and solves mysteries. All three of those are things that appeal to me. If I could choose a book character's life, hers would be very high on my list.One thing that amused me greatly is the cameo of Charlaine Harris's books in a library scene during the movie. Charlaine Harris is the author of the Aurora Teagarden mysteries, and it was actually her first series, long before Sookie Stackhouse (aka True Blood) or her Midnight, Texas Trilogy.If you enjoy reading Cozies, or like watching mysteries without blood or gore, you should definitely check this one out.

Candace Cameron Bure, a librarian with a taste for true mysteries, inherits a house. Some one breaks into the house. This leads her to a hidden skull with blunt force trauma in what promises to be the first in a Hallmark Channel series.It's based on Charlaine Harris' Aurora Teagarden series and is of the "Cozy Murder" variety of mystery. I am familiar with Ms. Harris through reading a couple of her Sookie Stackhouse series, which combines murder, vampires and Southern Gothic, and are cleverly written. Miss Bure is a charming actress, able to play an intelligent ditz; and although this particular movie seems to be mostly concerned with setting up the characters and relationships for future, the mystery story is well set up and executed. I look forward to future efforts, this latest Hallmark Channel mystery series bids fair to be a pleasing one.
