This was definitely well worth the wait! The writer, John Christian Plummer, did an excellent job of using the Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot, style of creating a mystery. There were multiple plots which overlapped a little but were their own mysteries as well. There was a topic in Amy's class at the beginning which was woven through the story and made a complete ending. Even the salt pig had its purpose. He also developed the relationship between Amy and Travis a little further, which is, of course, a pleasure to follow. There was one little glitch about which Poe story was referenced, but that was a minor detail. This is my favorite of the Hallmark Mysteries, and this episode was the one of the best of the series.
