I try to post the Upcoming Television Mystery Movies at the end of each month, which always has me wondering just where the previous month has gone! Well, at least for this March, I can tell myself that February only has 28 days >>> however with this year’s February being Leap Year, that doesn’t hold! It just gets more and more difficult to believe the passage of time is such a quick event.
Here are the mystery movies I found that will be airing on the Turner Classic Movies channel and on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel. Unfortunately, Hallmark M & M doesn’t post their entire monthly schedule, so I am not yet aware of any new, original mystery movies they will be airing. (I’ll keep looking throughout the month.) However, if you want to catch up with the Hannah Swensen or the Flower Shop mysteries, be sure to set up your DVRs on March 11. Also, you can catch up with the Aurora Teagarden and the Garage Sale mysteries on March 19.

The rest of us would absolutely love hearing about any more mystery movies they will be airing during March 2016. So, if you know of any I haven’t listed, please post a comment.
In case you’re interested in seeing the rest of this month’s television mystery movies, here’s the January 2016 television mystery movies schedule:
Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for February 2016
Here is the page on my site with lots and lots of entries of movies and television shows you may enjoy:
A few years ago, my husband and I watched a P. D. James’ Inspector Dalgliesh television mystery that starred Martin Shaw. We enjoyed it so much that I put Martin Shaw on our list of actors to keep an eye on. (I periodically search to see when particular actors add a new television show or movie to their projects.) I looked up Martin Shaw, and voilà, I found that he had another mystery show for us to try out.
