A Murder in Mind

I am so glad that I can watch an African American led who dunnit! Keep up the good work and give me some more Billie and Ian... oh don't forget Aunt Cassandra 👍🏾

All the other mysteries are so much better than this one. Found this so boring

5/10 - an adequate installment in the series, but nothing to write home about

This Morning Show Mystery film has chef/cook Holly Robinson Peete having aspiring actress on her show Hilary Jardine who is about to star in a new series. But she finds out she's being replaced by the show's creator. Later on a dirty ex-cop is murdered and Jardine is looking good for it from several angles.

Naturally she's not the one who did the deed and Robinson Peete has enough faith in her innocence to solve the case.

I think though it was rather obvious from the gitgo who would windup the murderer. You even hope this one is the killer.

Because of that this one is not as good as others from this Hallmark series.

Billie Blessings is drawn into a murder investigation when Katie Sanders, a former server at Blessings-turned TV star, becomes the focus when it's discovered the victim was blackmailing her. The victim worked for Hannah who despises Katie. Hannah's a controlling mother who thinks no one is good enough for her son and wants Katie off the show, but it's not clear she'd kill to make that happen. Anyway, Katie is not the one who turns up dead; it's Jerry Hannah's assistant and an ex-cop. Jerry is murdered at her house, but Katie was found running from the crime scene, and her father is also pretty blunt when asked about the lengths he'll go to protect his daughter.

Billie is on a case again, trying to help a friend who is accused of murder and it's adequate Hallmark mystery that isn't too striking, but is passable. A slow pace and a lack of a tight plot work against it. However, the lead actors are fine and Billie's aunty is an entertaining character. As part of a plot sideline, she is taken by a customer and Maurice the chef is green with envy.
