So where do I start. Let's start with the few positives. First, I thought the acting was actually not bad. I don't understand some of the reviews that said the acting was terrible. The actors did a good job making the emotions and personalities of the characters believable. I have seen terrible acting (looking at you Keanu Reeves), and this wasn't that. Second, the storyline surrounding the murder itself wasn't bad either. The twist that the killer made a mistake in who was murdered was unique. Third, and the reason I will watch the next episode is the cliffhanger. And this is the ONLY reason why I will continue watching...until that cliffhanger is resolved. So on to the negatives. And honestly, these left such a horrible taste in my mouth that this was my least favorite hallmark mystery show so far. First, the storyline is terrible from a believability factor. Why on earth is the chief of police asking the relative of a suspect who had her fingerprints on the murder weapon to help investigate? I don't care if he believes the suspect didn't do it. That's irrelevant. If I'm the mayor and I find out the chief is letting in a relative of a suspect investigate, I'm firing him. Second, and the worst thing of the entire show, is the lead character and "hero" of the story. It wasn't the acting of the actor, it was the character she was playing. Her character was, to put it bluntly, arrogant, unintelligent, and incredibly nasty. First, she shows up and insults the detective stating "where did you get your badge from... a happy meal?" after insisting he believe her that her sister didn't do it. Seriously? So a detective is just supposed to believe a relative of a suspect and take her at her word? Honestly, if a detective did take her at word without investigating, then he would have gotten his badge from a happy meal. He was just doing his job and she decides to treat him like garbage for it? Unacceptable. I understand her being mad that her sister is a suspect, but how she treated him is taking it way to far. Then she blackmails the chief of police unless he gives her information on the case? Then she steals information from the chief of police's computer? Then she proceeds to go to a random run down building by herself without calling for backup? Nothing about her was admirable and I came away from this thinking "I can't stand her." Third, the writers intended to justify her awful behavior by having the detective not only attempting to convince her that he was a good person (as if he committed some horrible sin by not believing every word she said) but then saying he should have trusted her at the end of the episode. No he shouldn't have! That's not what good detectives do. They investigate and question everything! This murder series was trash and if it wasn't for the cliffhanger I wouldn't watch another episode.
