I love all the Hallmark movies and especially the mysteries. They have suspense without so much silliness. But in the Haley Dean series, each one I've seen, the soundtrack outbalances the dialog. With her voice especially, being so soft, it's irritating to try and hear what's being said. The soundtrack is constant! Please in future episodes, lower the volume! Thank you. Jamie

Up until the last 15 minutes or so, this was an interesting and complicated murder mystery, with lots of suspects and multiple possible motives. The slow reveals throughout are well done.

But in the last quarter hour, the mystery takes a major "left turn" that is totally unexpected, and wildly unbelievable.

What should have doomed the last 15 minutes to impatient annoyance for the show to be over, instead is masterfully handled by the writers to create a suspenseful and truly satisfying conclusion to the episode.

The episode, as always is aided immensely by the wonderful ensemble of actors that populate the Hailey Dean Mystery series. Kellie Martin herself, as Hailey Dean, is the center from which the ensemble believably and enjoyably revolves.

Near the end of this episode, Hailey softly smiles, "Thanks for trusting me, guys". Detective Danny Morgan (Giacomo Baessato) replies, "Hey! When Hailey Dean springs a murder suspect out of jail, then asks me to put a wire on her, and set up surveillance outside her art gallery, I'm not going to say No!"

6/10 - one of my least favorite Hailey Dean mysteries, but still great fun
