The third Hailey Dean mystery finds our therapist former ADA played by Kellie
Martin taking on a private investigation of a woman who is a friend of her
mother. The daughter went missing a few days ago and Martin takes on the
missing persons investigation. It doesn't remain that for she finds her body
buried under a pile of leaves in a wooded area where she was known to go
jogging and hiking.
With a former colleague from DA's office at her side Viv Leacock, Martin does her own murder investigation. Unlike some of the other female
detectives in the Hallmark channel pantheon, Hailey Dean because she was
in law enforcement gets far more cooperation from the authorities with no
resentment. Surely more than Aurora Teagarden. Leacock and her have a
relationship similar to Bridget Moynahan and Steven Schirippa from Blue Bloods.
They zero in on the fact that the deceased was dating from a new kind of
dating App, meeting dates through that which seems to be a modern trend.
The App is the creation of Toby Levins with big assist from Kieran Sequoia.
Martin and Leacock pick the wrong suspect at first, but they do get ir right
though it's a close run thing for Martin as to her very life.
This is the third entry in this series and a good one.
