Upcoming Mysteries on Turner Classic Movies for June 2024

I’m working on this Turner Classic Movies mystery movie list in mid May… That’s right, not yet summer. However, today’s heat index in San Antonio is going to be 102* and the end of the week’s heat index is going to range between 105* and 108*. Great weather to crank up the air conditioner, stay inside, and spend the days either reading Cozy Mysteries or watching mystery movies! So, that’s what I’ll be doing!
