Reap What You Sew: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery

The writing of this episode required significant exposition to explain the absence of several beloved characters from the series, including Detective Lynn Ligett-Smith; Roe's boyfriend Martin Bartell; and erstwhile juvenile delinquent-turned bird dog Perry Dell - all of this on the heels of John Queensland being written out of the series in Last Scene Alive (2018). Further altering the tone of this episode is the unexplained substitution of an unfamiliar actor playing newspaper editor Macon Turner.

The murder weapon is pinking shears, not serrated scissors. no seamstress worth her stitch would ever refer to them as scissors. and no coroner, unless themself a subject of a premature postmortem. would ever confuse the wound made by pinking shears with that from a serrated steak knife.
