Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Mystery Movies – January & February 2018

Yes, yes, I know I have said I wouldn’t be doing these Hallmark M & M entries – because the channels website is so difficult (and secretive!) to navigate, but I spent some time on it today looking around and thought I would tell you about some upcoming mystery movies I noticed. (They actually have a new website format which I find even more difficult than their previous format!)

Getting back to the good Cozy Mystery news from the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel:

MORNING SHOW MYSTERY: MORTAL MISHAPS  Premiered
“Billie Blessings has gone from beloved chef, restaurant owner, and morning show segment host to #1 suspect in a murder case when one of the executives at the network dies from poisoning. When the head chef at Billie’s restaurant is arrested and held as a suspect, Billie takes matters into her own hands by digging deeper into a mystery that could incriminate people close to her while risking her own life in the process. Stars Holly Robinson Peete and Rick Fox.”
(Based on Hal Roker‘s Billy Blessing Mystery Series – which actually featured a male sleuth/chef, thus the change in the spelling of Billie/Billy…)

This series premiered on Sunday, January 21 >>> but I missed it. So, here are the next showings (in central time zone):

Stars Candace Cameron Bure, Marilu Henner, Yannick Bisson.”
(Based on the Aurora Teagarden Mystery Series by Charlaine Harris.)

DARROW & DARROW
“Claire Darrow, a lawyer, fights for what’s right, regardless of whether it makes her a dime. Naomi, Claire’s estranged mother and a lawyer as well, would rather make a profit. They clash on nearly everything, even on the best way to raise Claire’s daughter, Louise. Stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Tom Cavanagh, Wendie Malick.”

  1. Thank you all 3 sound fabulous, I’m not sure if we get that channel here in Canada but they do show the Aurora Teagarden mysteries.

  3. Sorry Danna but only the Morning Show one is a premier. All the others were premiered this month. Saw them all- they were very good!

  4. I have found the best way to check is bring the guide up once a week and scroll through to find what I want to watch on Hallmark. That way I (hopefully) don’t miss anything!

    • Lee, sounds like looking once a week might be an easy way to navigate through their website. I think I’m going to go back to simply doing my Turner Classic Movies channel mystery movies entries. They actually provide a monthly easy-to-read guide.

      Oh well, now I have three mystery movies to catch up on. Either way, I think the new movie looks like a winner to me…

  5. I have really enjoyed the HMM movies. There is so much to watch and the stories are a great distraction from the chaos of the moment.

  7. Hi, Hallmark also has a series based on Emma Fielding’s character, an archeologist who gets involved in modern mysteries.

  10. I wish HM&M would bring the old line back. I am tired of watching the same movies and programs over and over. What happened to Jesse Stone, the afternoon movies like The Class, The cupcake movies. Everyday, reruns. How many times a month do we need to see Garage Sale Mysteries,and the same weekend line up. Please mix it up. This is getting old. No offense, but I am looking for a different favorite channel.
    What about Signed, Sealed, and Delivered. We get one movie a day, and see the same one on the weekend.
    PLEASE

    • To add, since I wrote this last week, NOW, they took away the one movie and added 2 more Murder She Wrote movies. Come on, please, give us something to watch besides rerun and serial shoes.
      What is up with weekends also? What happened to Jesse Stone and Signed Sealed and Delivered? The women of mystery is really overdone. I enjoyed Flower Shop mystery, but I am happy about Dad now vs Darrow.
      I hope you will take this under advisement.

  11. Will Yannick Bisson be back as Martin in the Aurora Teagarden mysteries? I know Charlaine Harris has his character die of a heart attack at the end of one of her books. But Martin in the book is quite different from Martin in the movie series. First of all in the book he’s 15 years older than Aurora and at some point Martin and Aurora marry. In the book in which Martin dies he and Aurora have been married for 2 years when his niece shows up with the baby. In the movie Martin only gets shot in the shoulder. In the movie version Aurora and Martin are really good together and much closer in age. I hope he comes back!!!!!!!

  13. I wish they would also bring back the Flower Shop Mysteries with Brook Shields. I enjoyed them.
