**The death of the police chief!** The fifth

**The death of the police chief!** The fifth film in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery, based on the book of the same name. Another fine film in the film series, but not as good as the previous one. It all started off well, like usual intentional, that does not bother. Even the mid section stood to the expectation. But only the final event, that twist, that explanation did not convince me. Well, I'm not pointing out how the crime was solved, though the who did and the reason for it was not enough to wrap it up in a style. So keep it yourself, if you see what happens in the first three minutes of the film. Because that's how all Aurora Teagarden Mystery rolls out. What follows after are the most crucial, in which these films has done so well. As I said, now this series is well settled down. I liked so far how all the characters worked out their differences with our lead, Aurora. In that, her mother, Aida and the police chief, Jack Burns are the only ones yet to come into resolution. But that's the twist, because Burns is the victim here. His body was dumped in front of Aurora from a small plane while she was in her front yard with Sally. It was a deliberate act, but no one knows why, that's what they have to find out. Aurora, who goes after unsolved crimes, this time it came to her. This is where nobody can stop her, not even her mother. For the first time Aida sided with her daughter by giving some useful information. Except the main ones, most of the characters from the previous films were retained to fill the screen and give a broad view, particularly to make suspenseful. But there were also a couple of new ones added as the story demanded to extend the suspense. > ❝You are the only person I know that could have a near death experience and immediately start solving the crime.❞ A few unavoidable clichés. It was how the characters behaved during the probe. Because if it would not have been suspicious enough, the film had not lasted long. Basically, we call that the plot drag, but the polite way to say is, development. Happy to see Martin still hanging around. That looks does not change in the future as well. But this part somewhat discarded the romance sect. The other side of the story was going strong so. It had one fight sequence too. The television fights are not that impressive, but okay. Especially this being a woman oriented tale, that scene was the least expected. But in this kind of thematic, all are possible. Much improved on the cops' perspective of the crime that Aurora interested in. Mainly because of this was an open case. Lynn was the one who always shining, but they tried to bring Arthur, the Aurora's ex into some actions. The narration kept the mystery moving towards the final section. During the middle, it was a bit slow. And the end twist, not the best one. Since how the story and characters were designed together, there's nothing they could have done it differently. Because you can change the path, but the destination is still the same, which I think let the film down. Other than the ending, it was a nice film, enjoyable with the beautiful characters and settings. The director's second straight stint in the franchise. His previous one was by far my favourite. This one too a decent one, if you had liked so far of the series. Nice performances, particularly the other librarian had more scope in this. That makes Aurora had worked out with everyone, which makes more interesting how the next film and all the following would roll out. The next one is the final, the remaining books are yet to turn into films. I'm not too far from reviewing that, before my wait begins for the rest. **6.5/10**

Too many holes, too many questions

This, by far, is the least fun of the Aurora Teagarden mysteries thus far. There are just too many plot holes that are never dealt with, to make this an enjoyable episode.

How did the murderer take up Captain Burns prop plane, without anybody at the air strip noticing who it was? How did the murderer--first time in the area--know where Aurora Teagarden lived to drop Captain Burns body on her front lawn?

Unless I missed it, it is never explained why the librarian, Lillian Tibbett, was attacked in the first place.

It certainly looks like the new police captain, Arthur Smith, was at the posthumous ceremony for Captain Burns at the end. Why was his wife, Lynn Smith speaking and handing out the medal?

What happened to Detective Lambert after his incredible breach of protocol regarding Martin Bartell? We don't see Detective Lambert at the posthumous ceremony at the end of the episode. Are we supposed to take from that absence that Lambert has been put on leave or worse. After spending so much time building up Lambert as a villain, why not show some resolution?

The main characters are still enjoyable to watch. Both Candace Cameron Bure and Lexa Doig are still a delight to watch, especially when they are in a scene together. Marilu Henner's character is growing on me.

The only weak character for me is Yannick Bisson, who more suited, imo, playing the slightly stiff, but charming Detective William Murdoch in Murdoch Mysteries.
