I’ve gone through both the Turner Classic Movies channel and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel schedules for May 2016 and here are the mystery movies I was able to find. I also posted a few movies that don’t qualify as mysteries, but I think they’re so good that I wanted to make sure you know about their air dates/times.

I don’t see any new mystery movies premiering on the Hallmark M&M channel, but maybe at the end of the month, when they (finally!) update their schedule, I’ll find some.  I do want to mention that TCM will be highlighting Mother’s Day on May 8 (Sounder and I Remember Mama) and during the Memorial Day weekend they will be airing all sorts of patriotic movies for us to enjoy.
