In 2019, Hallmark aired the first in a series of movies titled Mystery 101 (not to be confused with Murder 101). The film told the story of an English literature professor and a police detective who become involved in a mystery.

Mystery 101 was a hit with audiences and was followed by a series of follow-ups. In this post, I am taking a look at the Mystery 101 movies to provide details about the films, including the all-important viewing order.
