Send us a textWhat do you get when you mix Agatha Christie with Sherlock Holmes, toss in a dash of Jennifer Shannon, and top it off with a Hallmark mystery?Well, Garage Sale Mysteries: The Novel Murders, of course. The mystery series has been Andrea's favorite while Eric has been lukewarm. But with this 6 installment of the mystery series starring Lori Laughlin, Steve Bacic, Sarah Strange, and Eva Bourne, we both agreed it was a 5 out of 5 mystery. Synopsis:Jennifer Shannon (Lori Loughlin) is a garage sale shopping expert whose sharp observation skills allow her to uncover valuable antiques, as well as help her local police department investigate crimes and solve mysteries. When an impoverished man enters Rags to Riches - a consignment shop where Jennifer sells the gems she's found at garage sales - and asks for an item home-delivered, Jennifer agrees. Upon her arrival at his run-down apartment, Jennifer finds the man murdered. As the police survey the crime scene, Jennifer cannot help but think there is something familiar about the details of the killing – and soon realizes that the victim's cold-blooded demise is a re-enactment of a murder in a classic mystery novel.Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website.

Send us a textWe are onto episode 7 of The Way Home and The Spencer Sisters. The two series continue to go in opposite directions. The Way Home seems to be getting more convoluted, but not in an interesting way. We are struggling to connect with any of the characters. Well the characters we are supposed to be interested in. As a result, we are becoming apathetic versus intrigued by the twists. However, when we switch over to The Spencer Sisters, it is precisely the opposite. Episode 7, The Lawyer's Lament, maybe the best one of the series so far. And the bar is high. Unlike TWH, we are totally invested in the characters and their relationships. We enjoy seeing their characters grow and their relationships evolve. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website.

Send us a textThis week we discussed the 6th epidodes of The Way Home, "Ain't No Sunshine" and The Spencer Sisters "The Winemakers Woe". While there were moments each of us enjoyed in The Way Home, this episode didn't do much to get us back into the episode, which is a disappointment since the last episode showed some promise. Kat continues to only care about Kat. We go back to the 1800s, which lost much of its appeal (if there was ever any appeal), and any sense of time travel rules seem to be out the window. But then we moved on to The Spencer Sisters and met a new love interest for Darby. Andrea appreciated there was less conflict between Victoria and FDarby and enjoyed the scenery of the vineyard. While Eric continued enjoying every time Victoria was on the screen. And Victoria finds a new love and does a wicked tango as well. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website.

Send us a textIn our weekly dive into the pond, we discuss the 5th episode of The Way Home, Reeling in the Years. After a week of optimism after the 4th episode, this one took a huge step backward with conflicts that don't make sense, plots that are going who knows where, and back to time travel rule-breaking. We are left asking the question, does anyone like Kat?Then we discussed The Spencer Sisters, which we thought we would agree. But we didn't. Andrea gets triggered over the mother/daughter bickering, which is one of the main reasons Eric enjoys the show. But we also had a difference of opinions on the actual mystery. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website.

Henry and Maggie are firmly cemented in their relationship in this movie as they return to the show's roots with an epicurean mystery. We also get more of Henry's dad, as their restaurant is key to solving the mystery. And since this was the final episode, we each ranked all five mysteries from our "least" favorite to our favorite. Lastly, Andrea played a fun, elaborate, sleuther game called Unsolved Case Files where you get a box full of clues and have to crack the case.

Send us a textIt's time for our weekly dive into the pond. While we have not been loving The Way Home for a while, this episode transported us back to our Season One vibes. A lot of the confusion of who can time travel was explained in this episode, and we finally have a sense of what is going on. Are we all the way back in? Maybe not. The off to The Spencer Sisters Episode 4, The Restaurantuer's Ruin. We are loving this series and the characters. Eric is a little more due to his Gen X crush on Lea Thompson.  While we may have disagreed on the core quality of the mystery, we both loved the unraveling of the mystery. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website.

Send us a textWe discuss the fourth Gourmet Detective movie, Eat Drink, and Be Buried. The episode starts with a hilarious mix-up that turns deadly. We also saw a very young Chris McNally and our recent guest, Lucie Guest, in an acting role. We are treated to more sizzling chemistry between Henry and Maggie. We also glimpse Henry's back story as we meet his dad. The mystery may not have been our favorite, but the character development shines and the sleuthing is great.Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website.
