It's the third episode of Emma Fielding Mysteries. Emma Fielding (Courtney Thorne-Smith) finds herself in another murder mystery when her supportive retiring superior Dr. Althea Harrison is poisoned during a banquet. The suspects include those fighting to take over. FBI agent Jim Conner (James Tupper) happens to be there after he got recruited by Emma for a speech. Meanwhile, her TAs Joe and Carey are growing closer and worked as servers at the party. The group is joined by pompous archeologist Duncan Thatcher with the bad British accent.
This is the best of the three episodes. It helps that the mystery is a fairly standard one. Essentially, someone is killed and all the suspects are in the room. It's classic. It also helps that the younger characters get their own romance. That takes the romantic pressure off the leads. While Tupper and CTS are really pretty people, their chemistry is set at a slow simmer. The younger couple is better and they provide a nice parallel relationship. This is not breaking any new boundaries but it is a very solid movie for Hallmark with the possibility of extending this franchise.
