The first installment was pretty good. I'm looking forward to the next in the movie series.
Jesse Metcalfe has that serious, earnest sweetness that makes him fun to watch. I'm liking all the characters.
I loved the Philip R. Craig novels that these are based on. I read them back in the day (early 90s).
I liked how they portrayed the barista character (actor Bradley Stryker) using humor and wit.

@GingerPeach I really liked this movie and am very much looking forward to the next one. This seems to be one of the better mystery series, although I tend to like all of them.

Hi @NickNack
We are lucky. There are 20 Philip R. Craig novels in the book series, so they'll have a lot of material from which to draw.
(The Hallmark series does make some changes, as is typical, I suppose.)

I thought is was OK. I did like the actors, however it would have been nice if at least one scene had actually been shot on Martha's Vinyard.. It kind of runied it for me

Oh, gosh, the heels. Someone should send Hallmark a pictorial of all the adorable low-heeled and flat shoes available, @Longhorn Gal . You'd also think a medical doctor would know that heels worn constantly aren't the best idea for your feet.

I didn't mind the film location, @Silver Fox1 , since Victoria, where I understand it was filmed, is beautiful, too. Did you know there were quite a few aerial shots of Martha's Vineyard?
There is a very nice article in the local Vineyard Gazette explaining everything:

So glad I came across this thread ~ I'm sure I will love these movies.......Looking forward to checking out this first installment
Used to visit the Vineyard every year ~ such a wonderful place!!
Back in the 90's I was perusing the "summer reads" in the Edgartown bookstore. A man next to me picked up the latest Philip Craig novel which I had just finished reading ~~
I said to him, "You should read that one, it was great!"
He said, "Glad you liked it, I wrote it!"
Imagine my surprise ~ Philip Craig ~ he is a very sweet, genuine person ~ I enjoyed the quick chat we had : )

Like most of you, I really enjoyed this mystery. I was leery at first but quickly got very interested in the s/l.
I'm anxiously awaiting the next Gourmet Detective mystery. Those mysteries along with the Garage Sale Mysteries were two of my favorites.
