I saw three of them a few years ago and loved them, then I couldn’t find them . Until a couple of days ago I recorded the series.
I just wondered how many were made I loved Allison on days and was very disappointed when she left. Then a year or so ago when the writers on days went completely crazy with the script I quit watching it when they let go all of my favorite actors and haven’t watched it since . I would love to see her in a prime time mystery series.

I love all the murder she baked movie. All the cast are great and the dialogue interactions are very real and believable. However the newest episode disappointed me. With a added little sister and not having the original sister. It should have the same cast and no new add on’s.

I get where you’re coming from. On the other hand, from what I read in the book series Hannah always had 2 sisters, one older and one younger. The movies were a bit different from the books. Again I haven’t ALL the books but a handful. Another fact (IF I recall rightly) is that Hannah and Mike never got married. Becasue in one of the books Hannah and a few others went out of town for Hannah’s widow mom’s wedding. While out of town she runs into an old classmate from college. The existing movies haven’t included that, so we’ll have to wait and see if any new movies are announced to see if they do or not.
