Step into the cozy mystery world of Private Eyes with our latest podcast episode, "Family Jewels"! This week, we're diving into Season 1, Episode 10, where Shade and Angie go undercover as an engaged couple to solve a brazen jewelry heist that throws them into the wild world of weddings.

Join us as we discuss what we loved, including the return of Angie's mom and the fun Hallmark nuggets like Jefferson Brown (Colton from 

The Way Home) and Brittany Bristowe. We'll chat about the hilarious "fake engagement" antics and that unexpected kiss between Angie and Shade that left us all saying, "Whoa!" 

However, not everything sparkled in this episode. We'll share our thoughts on the pacing and the puzzling decision to potentially reduce Jules's screen time, a character we adore. We also ponder if episode nine might have been a stronger finale for Season 1.

But fear not, fellow sleuths! We break down the clever mystery at the heart of "Family Jewels," from the suspects recommending each other to the ingenious dusting on the safe. And of course, we can't forget the intriguing letter found under the desk, setting the stage for Season 2!

This week on Hallmark Mysteries and More, Andrea and Eric pack their bags for a whirlwind review of Hallmark Channel’s June travel romance lineup—passport not required, hot takes guaranteed! ✈️💬

From the cobblestone streets of Barcelona to a dreamy Italian villa and the breathtaking heights of Machu Picchu, they dish on the highs, lows, and “wait… what was that?” moments from:

• To Barcelona With Love 💘: A twisty tale of literary deception starring Alison Sweeney and Ashley Williams. Did this dynamic duo deliver or fall flat?
• To Barcelona Forever 💍: A second helping of saffron, side-eyes, and sudden engagements. Does it spice things up or go stale?
• Villa Amore 🏡: Eric’s surprise five-star favorite of the year—and the fan pick too! A one-euro villa, wine from the bottle, and grown-up romance done right.
• A Machu Picchu Proposal 🏔️: B-roll bonanza or beautiful disaster? Andrea and Eric try to make sense of the mess—while praising the scenery and the (somewhat confused) leads.

Plus, fan poll results, favorite couples, character picks, and some real-life reflections about aging, travel dreams, and the emotional power of great storytelling. Andrea even dares Eric to rank the movies—and his answers might shock you.

📺 Sneak Peek: They reveal the Diagnosis: Murder episodes to watch next and tease a return to Mystery 101 with “An Education in Murder” (yes, the Steve Bacic one), along with the upcoming Rosemary & Thyme season two dive and a Golden Girls book review.
