The second movie (inspired by a series of books by Deborah Donnelly, Veiled Threats is book one) to air on the all-new branding of Hallmark
Movies and Mysteries, this fluffy movie is one of the cutest produced from the Heart of TV gang in a while. It follows the exploits of the perfectionist, but curious wedding planner,
Carnegie Kincaid (Erica Durance), whose one big chance to make a break in this
biz is interrupted by a murder – a crime that entangles the wealthy,
what-they-say-goes Parry family. With the help of an annoying, yet inquisitive
reporter Aaron Gold (Andrew W. Walker) and the handsome family lawyer Holt
Walker (Brandon Beemer), Carnegie has plans to solve a murder that the police –
particularly Det. Borden (Rick Ravanell), like her as a suspect for, all
of which she juggles while planning a wedding worthy of her client.  

The cast is sassy and fun – particularly Erica who not only
had a cool character name (way to be unique), she played the role well and played off the men who
surrounded her as supporting characters in an equally entertaining way. Each scene makes you flip-flop in
how you want the outcome to play out and leaves us wondering who we’re meant to
be rooting for (aside from Carnegie), which is just part of the reason this one
stood out a bit more and I applaud the writer’s and production team for that.
Like others that have been serialized, this too could easily be the start of a
series that would certainly be a whole lot of fun – I’d return for more adventures!

Mystery is just the right kind of rainy-night entertainment. It’s
lighthearted, has a fantastic cast and even though it fell into some of the
same clichés (honestly, I don’t mind that in the least) there was a beat to the
story that was unique. Maybe it was the cast that worked well together or the
director, either way this is yet another mystery that is begging to be solved.
Mark this in your planner to make a date with – Carnegie and Company.
