Loved the books and now love the show. While it differs from A Fool and His Honey, the mysteries are fun, simple, and sweet. Hallmark knows exactly what we like and this is another great addition into Aurora catalogue. Candace is as warm and loveable as she was on full house and I can't wait to see what they come up with for the next one. Keep them coming.

In the scene where Rory & Martin get shot Aurora runs outside and instead of getting her phone from the car to call the police for help and an ambulance she runs across the road in a very dangerous situation...Who does that or is the audience just supposed to be a bunch of idiots?

***SPOILERS*** Aurora Teagarden isn't my favorite TV detective, but her movies are usually watchable. This one is by far the worst. The story did start as an intriguing mystery, however, it totally unwraps as it moves a long. Aurora and Martin seriously obstruct justice when they hide a witness who was on the premises where a murder and a supposed kidnapping were committed and when he appears to be the most probable suspect. Then they let him escape, and then they capture him again. Law enforcement doesn't seem to mind, although Arthur does slap his forehead and Lynn frowns at one point early on. Aurora and Sally continue to interfere when they interview a midwife, who is also possibly complicit in the murder, tipping her off to the investigation. Totally annoying. Nearing the end, a shooter is shooting at Martin, Aurora and the witness in the house and wounds both Martin and the witness. We, nor Aurora, have any idea how badly they are hurt, although the witness is unconscious and Martin, who was clearly shot in the chest, says he's going into shock. Seems kinda serious. Conveniently, Martin has previously said his phone is dead--and all at once Aurora remembers she left hers in the car. Unknown whether the witness has a phone... So no one can call 911. The shooter comes into the house, acting innocent, although Aurora and Martin both recognize him. For some unknown reason, he doesn't shoot anyone again but wanders across the street to "get his first aid kit" and conveniently disappears for a good while. Why did he shoot at them in the first place if he had no interest in killing them? Unarmed Aurora then leaves the house over Martin's objection to follow the shooter and, instead of getting her phone or asking another neighbor to call an ambulance and the police, crosses the street and finds Martin's niece who has been kidnapped in the neighbor/shooter's basement. She could get into the basement, but she and the niece had a time getting out.... During all this mess, the neighbor's wife kidnaps the baby from the house (how did she get in anyway?), and Aurora hears her on the baby monitor, which must have a HUGE range, since Aurora was across the street at the time. How convenient to have a baby monitor in her pocket but no cell phone...Apparently, the niece, who was the baby's mother, was kidnapped until she would reveal where she had hidden the baby. Early on, the kidnapper's wife found out that Aurora and Martin had the baby, so why were they keeping the mother alive? They were planning to take the baby way on a car trip, but surely they knew she would tell the police before they could get very far. They had no problem killing the baby's father but, of course, not Martin's niece. Made no sense.Other reviewers have mentioned Aurora's treatment of the newborn baby. She cavalierly passed him around from person to person, and at the end of the show told Martin she has decided she wants to have his babies although they aren't engaged and she has indicated only relief that he hasn't proposed to her. Also, it turns out, the niece made a wonderful mother even though she had said she and her husband weren't ready for children and they had tried to sell their baby?? Isn't that a crime?Yannick Bisson and Lexa Doig are wonderful actors. I just wish they had a better vehicle.

Having watched another Aurora movie I found myself very annoyed at 2 of the female characters in this one . AT is indeed self absorbed to the point of wondering how she will ever keep her job - It appears she works part time and is frequently late, or wanting to leave early and By the way, how does she afford to buy that lovely home ? She involves herself into every aspect of the crime and is irritating - nothing like Jessica Fletcher . Her care of the baby was indeed ludicrous foisting the baby off on other every chance she got to pursue her needs. Spoiler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Maybe One of the most irritating moments was for me is when John proposed again to her mother and during the proposal she turned her back on him to answer the phone .The one nice moment was seeing Yannick Bisson released from his duties at the Toronto Constabulary
