We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions.

In this episode, we dive deep into the 2022 Hallmark classic, Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder. As the final film featuring Candace Cameron Bure in the titular role, we explore whether this "spooky" installment lived up to the hype or leaned a little too far into Scooby-Doo territory.

We break down the intricate plot involving a cold case from Aurora and Sally’s teenage years, the return of the Real Murders Club, and the eerie atmosphere of the Lawrence house. Plus, we discuss the heartwarming (and fun) inclusion of Candace Cameron Bure and Lexa Doig’s real-life daughters playing their younger selves!

Whether you love the supernatural vibes and the "ghost finding" subplots or you're a skeptic like Eric, we cover all the bases—from the romantic dynamics to the technical trivia behind the scenes.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "Haunted" atmosphere and effective use of horror tropes in a Hallmark setting.
• The mystery of the Lawrence house and the 30-year-old cold case.
• Behind-the-scenes trivia, including the reason behind Niall Matter’s rugged beard.
• A comparison to Murder, She Wrote and other cozy mystery staples.
