Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans (2024 TV Movie) User Reviews

The best Curious Caterer yet!

[cgvsluis · 8/10 · 29 April 2024]

I am really enjoying the slow build and mature relationship being built between caterer Goldie and Detective Tom. This was a departure in that it takes place over less than twenty four hours at a costumed fundraising function at a gorgeous vintage building in a snow storm. Goldie has been asked to cater the event, her daughter is participating in a fencing demonstration, and both her ex husband and Tom are invited as guests for the event.

Trapped together because of the snow storm, their host is murdered and Goldie, Tom, his two fellow detectives, a U. S. Marshal who showed up uninvited looking for Tom's father who is a recently escaped prisoner, Goldie's daughter and her best friend all work together to try to solve this murder.

The costuming was fun and I loved Goldie's dress it was very flattering. I loved the romantic repartee between Tom and Goldie throughout this episode. I also appreciated the pacing and twists added to this plot and even though I had worked out the mystery, I still enjoyed it.

This Hallmark Mystery series is based on the books by Diane Mott and while I haven't read one yet...they are encouraging me to do so.

I recommend this series to my fellow Hallmark mystery fans and am really looking forward to the next one. The acting is great and so far the storytelling is interesting.

One of the best

Wow what a great murder mystery. I think the best one ever. Andrew Walker & Nikki DeLoche are the new "Hart to Hart " duo crime solvers. This movie had it all. Great sets excellent costumes perfect location and oh a blizzard to boot. It was a very good who don'e it with a touch of rom/com.

The ebb and flow of of solving the mystery was done very well. As a long time fan of Hall Mark Mystery's I can really see the time money and effort was spent for this movie. I can honestly say I could not guess who the murderer was and was definitely surprised I have been waiting for a long time for Hallmark to upp their game. If they keep developing these types of mysteries they will leave competitors in the dust The cast of characters were excellent. Each party member was added value to the plot. The twist and turns were very good.

Keep it up Hallmark.

Twists & Turns

This is one of the best series Hallmark has done, and the ball keeps rolling with this movie. It's a mystery that keeps you guessing; with a touch of humor, a touch of romance but zero sap.

I was surprised a few times with twists and turns, and it was fun for me not to know who the murderer was. I really didn't know until the end.

The writing, acting and direction are all excellent. The supporting cast is topnotch. The medieval setting and costumes are the perfect ambience for the mystery.

Nikki Deloach and Andrew Walker are a great duo.

"Goldie and "Tom" are clever individually and together; with a spark but without being cloying.

They aren't moonstruck teens in love. They behave like adults, which is a rare and welcome attribute in a Hallmark movie. The emphasis is on the mystery, and I love that.

Their sidekicks are equally fun to watch and always add something extra to these movies. They don't feel like afterthoughts.

I can't wait for the next one.
