The Cozy Mystery List Blog

Happy (month of the) Fourth of July! As you look at the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel’s schedule for this month, you’ll be able to see that they are continuing with their Christmas in June celebration – carrying it into a Christmas in July movies theme during July’s first week. (I thought that the channel might focus on patriotic-themed movies all day on the Fourth, but… no cigar!)

I’m sorry to say that  I don’t see any mystery movie PREMIERES coming up during July.  It does, however, look like there will be at least one new Aurora Teagarden mystery movie in August. That’s something to look forward to!

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Cozy Mystery Movies – July 2021:
