"An Aurora Teagarden Mystery: Reap What You Sew"

-


Like many of us, I've enjoyed Hallmark Movies from Holiday features to Romance stories, even The Good Witch movies. Yet nothing seems to beat the mystery women movies. One Aurora Teagarden has been especially interesting lately and as of last night has featured its newest chapter in the series.

With her beau off in South America and having sold the "cursed" house Aurora (Candace Cameron Bure) finds herself living back with her mom and uncertain as to if Martian will ever return. Yet some happiness does come into her life with the arrival of family friend Poppy who's crafting internet channel is beginning to take off with more to come. 
The happiness is short lived when while coming to pick Poppy up for an event, Aurora and her friend Sally Allison (Lexa Doig) find Poppy on the kitchen floor stabbed to death and the back door wide open. 
Soon Aurora has another mystery on her hands and a long list of suspects that could hold possible motives from jilted boyfriend Dustin, to a jealous bride to be and her lawyer fiancé to her own stepmother. As Aurora peels back the layers digging deeper to the center of the truth, incidents make it clear someone doesn't want the truth coming out and may put Aurora and her mother Aida (Marilu Henner) in danger.

Hallmark does it again. Portraying strong intelligent women taking on cases with twist, turns and the element of danger. A puzzle that doesn't show the complete picture until the final piece. A four and a half G.M.Star performance by "Full House" and "Fuller House" beloved Candace showing us that she's come a long way from loveable D.J. Tanner but is still the girl next door that you want to invite into your home.

For those who have been following online media and the frequent Netflix browser, you've probably have come across the name Ted Bundy recently. High School Musical's Zac Efron has taken the next step in his acting career by portraying the infamous serial killer who just happened to be born in Burlington, Vermont (true fact) and in the course of his life would go on to be a charismatic intelligent man on the surface and the last guy you would expect of killing over thirty women of various ages. Yet not many are aware of the things he did after he was sentenced. Aside from telling his life story and occasionally giving up a victim he also gave detectives insight into the mind of another serial killer, one known as "The Green River Killer" During the 1980's, the state of Washington was plagued by a serial killer that would rape and murder women, many of whom were young runaways and sex workers and leave their bodies naked up and down The Green River giving him t
