What viewers say
Viewers who enjoy this TV mystery movie, about a mystery-loving college professor who teams up with a detective, praise its twists, clues and red herrings, fun supporting characters and the easy chemistry between Jill Wagner and Kristoffer Polaha, and many went on to follow the movies that came after. Common criticisms are a rough, implausible script, a heroine whose part in the investigation and narrow escapes are hard to believe, and a killer some viewers spotted right away.
Best for: Viewers who want a light, clean whodunit with a likable sleuthing duo.
