Amy Winslow (Jill Wagner) is a professor of literature who teaches a class about mystery novels. When one of her students goes missing, her natural curiosity takes her on a trail of clues that leads to a possible murder. The local police try to keep her out of the investigation, but Amy can't help herself. And Detective Travis Burke (Kristoffer Polaha) finds that Amy can be helpful due to her connections at the college.
This Hallmark mystery is a pilot for a Hallmark series that consists of four episodes at this date. Wagner and Polaha are affable leads and the supporting cast is enjoyable. I especially noticed Sarah Dugdale in the role of Claire Tate, the fledgling detective who is Burke's assistant. Because of her strong presence on camera, I hope her role becomes more significant in later episodes.
The mystery of this pilot is complex. It will keep you wondering whodunit, even though the apparent malefactor is fairly obvious.
The relationship between Winslow and Burke develops nicely, providing a strong jumping-off point for episode two.
