Mystery Woman Triple Feature

Well written and great acting by Kellie Martin and Clarence Williams III.

I got hooked on the Hallmark mystery stuff several years ago by accident. Now I like allOf them pretty much. No politics, no strong sexuality, No swearing. Just a who - dun- it style with a natural perfect performance from Kellie Martin and Clarence Williams of Mod Squad. And I’m a straight guy!! Sometimes a regular with no agenda film is what it takes.

This set of three mysteries was recommended to me by Amazon based upon my purchasing history. I had never hear of the series so I was a bit unsure as to whether I would enjoy them or not. It turns out it was a great recommendation by Amazon. Not only have I enjoyed the three movies in this set, I can't wait until the others are released.The set consists of two DVDs in a well constructed case. The quality of the video and sound is excellent.The Mystery Woman series was originally produced by the Hallmark Chanel. The series consists of a pilot and 10 movies. The pilot aired in 2003 with the 10 movies following in the 2005 - 2007 time frame.The series stars Kellie Martin of ER fame as Samantha Kinsey. She inherited a mystery bookstore from her uncle and now runs it.There are three additional main characters in addition to Samantha: Philby - He is the store caretaker. He is played by Clarence Williams III of 1970's Mod Squad fame. Cassie Hillman - She is Samatha's best friend and the Assistant D.A. Chief Connors - He is the Police Chie whome Samantha proves wrong more often than not.Philby and Cassie were played by different actors in the pilot as compared to the 10 follow-up movies.The 11 titles are: Mystery Woman - Pilot Mystery Weekend Snapshot Sing Me a Murder Vision of a Murder Game Time At First Sight Wild West Mystery Oh Baby Redemption In the ShadowsAll mysteries are complex, well thought out and well acted. It is difficult to figure these out in advance.Highly recommended for any mystery fan.

Mystery Women is the name of the store that is owned by Samantha the sleuth. Her sidekick, Philby - Clarence Williams from Mod Squad, is a retired spy who has connections with friends who know everything about everything. And she has a best buddy -Cassie the Assistant DA - who can help when needed in special areas. Of course, there is the adversarial Police Detective who doesn't want her around, but needs her to solve the case. It is a typical Hallmark mystery movie with the standard characters and standard plots - a narrow group of suspects with potential motives and opportunities. The female sleuth bumps into a murder, snoops her way to a solution, and encounters some danger en route. The culprits are not known until the end as suspects are added and deleted during the investigation. The plots in this series were good, with adequate acting. They are clean storylines with no political agendas, no cultural guilt trips, or gratuitous sex. Four stars were given since they are pretty standard plots, and not very innovative.

My husband and I enjoyed this series when it debuted as a Hallmark Channel mystery series years ago. We love the smalltown setting and the bookstore with its rare and eclectic collection of mystery books. The characters are engaging from curious, amateur-detecting bookstore owner Samantha, to Philby her very mysterious quiet assistant who is much more than he appears to be, her vivacious bestie the ADA, Cassie, and irascible Chief Connors who hates when Samantha and Cassie butt into his murder investigations.True, its something like an adult Nancy Drew tone, but we enjoy these light yet suspenseful cozies and were excited to find the set at a reasonable price.

Great shows

There are few movie makers as insightful as Hallmark--and it doesn't have to be about gut wrenching love either--like this particular series (and the Jane Doe series with Lea Thompson). I don't know how they do it. It is heart wrenching to fans like myself, however, not to be able to purchase every single thing they've ever made (there are millions of us who bemoan this fact all the time as we stand in bookstores complaining about it)--which made the purchase of this trilogy the best thing that's happened to me in a while. I like this series. Kelly Martin has always been intriguing in her roles. She's not the traditional female by any stretch of the imagination, not cruel, bitter, or always willing to pick a fight. She's a hardliner, though (nice touch), in a cute package. There's no sweetsie crap going on with this mystery woman--but she's not heartless. She is obsessed, which only adds to her charm, even though you do want to smack her every once in a while. She's dedicated, what can I say? If you want some good mystery without all the angst and non-essential life-affirming dialogue--this is your ticket. I'd say this is one of those things that's more like reality than reality TV--done the real way humans relate to each other in situations like these.

Thank you!

l liked that it was exactly what was pictured. Murder mystery cd. Loved it.

Il Dvd non è edizione Germania, ma edizione USA, quindi non è visibile sui DVD/PC che si trovano in Italia

Everyone of these movies are great if you like murder mysteries. I love all 3 of them. each have a different story and it does not matter which order they are watched in. All different but you can follow them in any order.

2 disc set includes the following mystery woman movies:Mystery weekend-After a mystery writer is murdered at a book signing,the book store owner Samantha,turns sleuth & exposes a convoluted plot of blackmail,greed & deceit that would stump Agatha christie.Snapshot-A millionaires inheritance provides Samantha with a wealth of suspects when suspicion of foul play shakes a family tree with more than its share of rotten fruit.Sing me a murder-When the promoter of a folk rock band on their comeback tour is found murdered in his hotel room,Samantha digs up deadly secrets that bring a whole new meaning to top ten hit.Excellent value & if you like your mysteries then you will love this set! I just wish that the rest of the movies were available too..

Good entertainment
