Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The second film in the Aurora Teagarden film series, based on the first book. I liked it better than the previous one. That film was a little simpler, like everything happened in a small circle of setting. In this, there's no a major leap, but slightly extended, either it be characters or the story that takes us to the places. Lived up to the expectation, but as I always say, for the television standards and in particular keeping in mind the women audience. Because Hallmark might be exploring the crime related themes lately, but it always remains a women's favourite channel.It was just a second film, but as I observed in these two, I think showing a blurred very brief crime event at the opening is its trademark. In this tale, the killing follows a pattern. The pattern of old murders, mostly from Europe. A woman got murdered at the beginning and then as usual Aurora jumps in to investigate on her own, despite warnings from the cops not to involve. It seems this time her reporter friend is on her side. Not much helpful in solving the crime, but on the reverse side, it's Aurora, whose tip off impacts her from a possible danger.What major change I unexpected was the romance part. I don't know what happened to that church guy she was dating, but now it's with a mystery novelist, who's also a temp university professor called Robin Daniels. They together do all the latest case related work, since it could be helpful for his future novels. The regular monthly 'Real Murders Club' members meet up and so that's where the question begins that the killer could be one of the members who just recreating the group's case study. That leaves out strangers involving in this matter. But who is it and why he/she's doing it are the remaining narration to unfold.❝Is she always two steps ahead of everybody else?❞They had retained the same director for this film as well. I think he did well. I don't recognise Candance Cameron Bure suppose if I had seen her in any films before, but she was good so far in this film series. Looks she's one of the best television actresses. The supporting cast too was not bad. Shot in the nicest places, good dialogues and the fine scene transitions. The mystery was well maintained. I thought I had guessed, but like most of the time I was wrong. Not because I did not see it coming, but they hid that precious twisty part/character to bring on at the best section of the film, which's the finale.I would say the new boyfriend was one of the best things happened in this. If you watch it, you would know why. You know, in a crime- mystery, maintaining the plot is very important. At a same time revealing a few details on the other end must go on. This was a short film like nearly 80 minutes. An average runtime for any television film. Then the pace of the storytelling was good, followed by the list of possible suspects and possible future victims puzzling around. Simply to say, it was not a very intelligent crime solving film, but good enough to enjoy, especially the whole family together without restriction of age.Comparing the first film, it was less dramatic, but more tense, moving quickly from one scene to another. Not everything was perfectly done. There was a scene that looked intentional. It was a scene, finding an evident and then they succeeded. There's nothing wrong in it, but they simplified it, to move on to the next level of the investigation. From all, leaned too much on or you could say depended on the character Aurora. That's the title, that's what you might expect and so they gave it. Overall, a win-win kind of film for both the viewers and the makers. They did well for the second time, so I'm expecting the same for the third as well. Watch it if you had finished the first. Meanwhile, I'm getting ready for the next review in this film series.7/10

Obnoxious, annoying is true for this one and the series. Way beyond not believable . Cannot imagine the towns people being this immature but its fiction . Wish the author would work with the characters and bring up to a level of maturity and level-headedness . Hard to believe this berg is as backwards as it seems but then again, it's only fiction. As the series progresses, they get more annoying , especially Auroras . We all know Candice is more mature that this or is she ? Having seen her a few times on a talk show have my doubts. She is still a little girl in little girl clothing with little girl lines

Candace Cameron Bure is Aurora Teagarden in "Real Murders: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery" from 2015.In this film, someone is using famous murders from the past to knock off people in the murder mystery club to which librarian Aurora belongs. She gets to work trying to solve the crimes, coming up against her nemesis, Detective Lynn Smith (Miranda Frigon), the wife of Aurora's former boyfriend. In the last film, Aurora delivered Lynn's baby so I don't see how it is she's still hostile.Anyway, I didn't like this one - I thought the denouement was pretty dumb. I guess Candace Cameron Bure is an acquired taste. She's way too perky and childish for me. Marilu Henner plays her mother, and I believe the rest are Canadian actors.I love all mysteries, which is why I'm checking out the Hallmark movies.

There wasn't much on TV so I gave Aurora Teagarden a go and couldn't believe how annoying the main character was! If you enjoy childish, simplistic women who act like 10 year olds, then this is the show for you! Aurora is suppose to be 28 years old, but it seems as if they are trying to appeal to young teens because any self respecting adult would find Aurora annoying as hell! I don't see the point in outlining the flaws and faults in the actual story line, which are too many to list, when the main character is so unbearable! For a mystery show, this one is full of insultingly stupid scenarios and murders, which I assume are aimed at simple children! I must say that there were a couple of actors that I do like normally, which was the only reason I gave the show a go, but to my dismay, even they were annoying! I am disappointed any self respecting actor would agree to be in such a stupid show!
