Review of Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major

I feel a little mixed about this new Hallmark mystery series. There were things I loved about it...like the actor who played the musical ghost, Risteard Cooper, he was fantastic...but I don't think he is coming back. I also really enjoyed the Irish backdrop. I did think it was awfully weird that there were not just one but two foreign transplants in the same small village, and both are teaching at the same school?...which brings me to Marco Grazzini, who plays Griff. I like the actor in general, but he seemed to stand out like a sore thumb in this series. I liked the use of the musical ear worm and one of the students helping to solve the clue.

This series is based on the books by Alexia Gordon called the Gethsemane Brown Mysteries. I haven't read them and know very little about them except that they are a cosy mystery series. I am afraid I didn't enjoy this film so much that I am rushing out to buy them or anything. But I would say I am neutral and willing to give the series another chance. I am a big fan of Hallmark Mysteries with my favorites being Hannah Swensen, Aurora Teagarden (the original and not the reboot that goes back in time) and Mystery 101.

This series had a ghost teaming up with a music instructor to solve a mysterious murder.

Not quite a recommendation, but I am reserving judgement. The paranormal addition is kind of new for a Hallmark Mystery series and I didn't hate it.
