Security Guard Aadila Dosani ... Sonia Robinson Seth Ranaweera ... Building Super Aaron Douglas ... Gregory Sackett PLOT: After volunteering to participate in a crossword solving competition with a new supercomputer, crossword puzzle editor Tess Harper finds herself swept into the investigation of the bizarre murder of a tech CEO. REVIEWS: 🔎 "Lacey and Brennan's "Terminal Descent" was so good. Loved every minute of it. Both Lacey and Brennan are much more relaxed and are now connecting emotionally. Loved it!" ~kitkat 🔎 "I have followed Crossword Mysteries since it's inception. Lacey Chabert (TessHarper, Crossword Puzzle Editor) and Brennan Elliott (Detective Logan O'Connor) brought this mystery to new heights of suspense in Terminal Descent, their 4th installment of the series, taking viewers into the world of high-tech & murder. As Logan and Tess teamed up to solve the mysterious murder of a high-tech CEO, it put a new light on their personal lives when they discover personal info about each other. To sum it up, Terminal Descent was full of suspense, even scary, but it also had the element of humor and a hint of romance on the horizon between Logan & Tess. I give 5 stars to Terminal Descent; its Writer, Director, Producer, Exec. Producers and Cast." ~Ann 🔎 "Terminal Descent was another excellent instalment in the Ctossword Mystreies series, perhaps even the best to date. Lacey and Brennan suit each other well and as usual there are numerous touches of humour. The mystery was intriguing and at long last there seemed to be some progress in their personal relationship as they learned more of each others' pasts. However it does seem that it's obligatory for the hero in all the current mystery series now to have had a previous unhappy marriage - why? *SPOILER* Just to throw a spanner in the works - it was really great to see Matthew Dowden and I was thinking how he would make a great match for Tess - of course that can't happen. I'd love to see Matthew get a Hallmark leading role." ~Anonymous 🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎 MOVIE REVIEW Movie: “Chronicle Mysteries: Helped to Death” Network: Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Original Air Date: February 21, 2021 CAST: Alison Sweeney ... Alex McPherson Benjamin Ayres ... Drew Godfrey Jayce Barreiro ... Kurt Hardy Ian Collins ... Zack Warren Richard Keats ... Jack Carpenter Rebecca Staab ... Eileen Bruce Alison Wandzura ... Marianne Carpenter Lochlyn Munro ... PLOT: True crime podcaster Alex McPherson (Alison Sweeney) and her colleague Drew Godfrey (Benjamin Ayers) investigate a self help retreat and the controversial life coach who oversees it. REVIEW: 🔎 " “Chronicle Mysteries: Helped to Death” is a family friendly mystery. Like any murder mystery, there is a little violence – a man is seen dead on the ground from afar – after falling off a cliff. In this movie Alex McPherson (Alison Sweeney) and Drew Godfrey (Benjamin Ayres) are attending a controversial self-help retreat. Alex is hopeful she’ll be able to do her Podcast and unravel a mystery from a previous retreat. There are strict rules about diet and no technology – so they can cleanse their body and mind. The no tech policy, however, makes it difficult to communicate with the outside world, but not impossible. Many of the people who attend these events act a bit odd and the story, for me, lacked a strong secondary B story, as the movie focused mostly at the camp. There are, however, some interesting characters at the retreat and Alex and Drew get extra help from Zack, an eager new worker at the newspaper. Overall, a good mystery in the Chronicle Mysteries series – it was sweet to see a deeper connection between Alex and Drew." ~Net 🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎 Please note: Both mystery movies above are family friendly.
