What do you get when you mix Agatha Christie with Sherlock Holmes, toss in a dash of Jennifer Shannon, and top it off with a Hallmark mystery?

Well, Garage Sale Mysteries: The Novel Murders, of course. The mystery series has been Andrea's favorite while Eric has been lukewarm. But with this 6 installment of the mystery series starring Lori Laughlin, Steve Bacic, Sarah Strange, and Eva Bourne, we both agreed it was a 5 out of 5 mystery. 

Synopsis:

Jennifer Shannon (Lori Loughlin) is a garage sale shopping expert whose sharp observation skills allow her to uncover valuable antiques, as well as help her local police department investigate crimes and solve mysteries. When an impoverished man enters Rags to Riches - a consignment shop where Jennifer sells the gems she’s found at garage sales - and asks for an item home-delivered, Jennifer agrees. Upon her arrival at his run-down apartment, Jennifer finds the man murdered. As the police survey the crime scene, Jennifer cannot help but think there is something familiar about the details of the killing – and soon realizes that the victim’s cold-blooded demise is a re-enactment of a murder in a classic mystery novel.

We are onto episode 7 of The Way Home and The Spencer Sisters. The two series continue to go in opposite directions. The Way Home seems to be getting more convoluted, but not in an interesting way. We are struggling to connect with any of the characters. Well the characters we are supposed to be interested in. As a result, we are becoming apathetic versus intrigued by the twists. 

However, when we switch over to The Spencer Sisters, it is precisely the opposite. Episode 7, The Lawyer's Lament, maybe the best one of the series so far. And the bar is high. Unlike TWH, we are totally invested in the characters and their relationships. We enjoy seeing their characters grow and their relationships evolve.

This week we discussed the 6th epidodes of The Way Home, "Ain't No Sunshine" and The Spencer Sisters "The Winemakers Woe". While there were moments each of us enjoyed in The Way Home, this episode didn't do much to get us back into the episode, which is a disappointment since the last episode showed some promise. Kat continues to only care about Kat. We go back to the 1800s, which lost much of its appeal (if there was ever any appeal), and any sense of time travel rules seem to be out the window. 

But then we moved on to The Spencer Sisters and met a new love interest for Darby. Andrea appreciated there was less conflict between Victoria and FDarby and enjoyed the scenery of the vineyard. While Eric continued enjoying every time Victoria was on the screen. And Victoria finds a new love and does a wicked tango as well.

It took Dylan Neal several years to agree to do a podcast. He knows he can't hold himself from telling you like it is. But once the damn was broken, he felt he had more to share, and we appreciated it. He doesn't sugarcoat things but isn't vengeful or petty, either. He just tells it like it is. 

So grab a latte or brew some tea, put in the headphones, and have a listen.

Victor Webster has long been one of our favorite actors, and when he joined the Hannah Swensen Hallmark mystery franchise, we couldn't have been more excited. We sat down with Victor and talked about joining Hannah, Delores, and the rest of the gang as the newest cast member, DA Chad Norton. 

But we couldn't let Victor come on the podcast and not discuss Summer Villa, quite possibly the best Hallmark movie of all time. 

So sit back, pour a cup of tea, and enjoy getting to know Victor Webster. 

Reality Bites: A Hannah Swensen Mystery starring Alison Sweeney, Victor Webster, Gabriel Hogan, and Barbara Niven will premiere on Hallmark Mysteries on February 6th.

In our weekly dive into the pond, we discuss the 5th episode of The Way Home, Reeling in the Years. After a week of optimism after the 4th episode, this one took a huge step backward with conflicts that don't make sense, plots that are going who knows where, and back to time travel rule-breaking. 

We are left asking the question, does anyone like Kat?

Then we discussed The Spencer Sisters, which we thought we would agree. But we didn't. Andrea gets triggered over the mother/daughter bickering, which is one of the main reasons Eric enjoys the show. But we also had a difference of opinions on the actual mystery.

The time has come to conclude our breakdown of the Gourmet Detective series as we discuss Roux the Day. Henry and Maggie are firmly cemented in their relationship in this movie as they return to the show's roots with an epicurean mystery. 

We also get more of Henry's dad, as their restaurant is key to solving the mystery. 

And since this was the final episode, we each ranked all five mysteries from our "least" favorite to our favorite. 

Lastly, Andrea played a fun, elaborate, sleuther game called Unsolved Case Files where you get a box full of clues and have to crack the case. To learn more https://www.unsolvedcasefiles.com/
