Mysteries on PBS and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries

How are you doing? Week 4 of staying at home for us. Looks like we will start some loosening of the rules this week. Not so much for individual citizens but hospitals and businesses, so there is some hope.

There is a lot coming up on PBS Masterpiece Mystery. Yay!

Baptiste started last Sunday. You can catch it online or possibly a rerun before episode two Sunday April 19.

About: "While visiting his daughter’s family in Amsterdam, Julien Baptiste (The Missing‘s lead detective) gets drawn into the search for Englishman Edward Stratton’s missing niece…and before long, everything you think you understand about this mystery is upended!"

Episode one was very good. Made me think of Inspector Gamache.

Grantchester returns June 14. I really like this series. I am still not over Sidney Chambers (James Norton) running away. Geordie Keating (Robson Greene) is still there though along with Mrs. Maguire and Leonard. Love those characters. 


This season: "With God on his side and a motorcycle to ride, Grantchester’s crime-fighting clergyman Will Davenport teams up (voluntarily!) with Geordie Keating to solve a series of darker, grittier crimes than ever before…and face the challenges of celibacy head-on when journalist Ellie Harding enters the picture!"

Endeavor returns with three new episodes in 2020. Another favorite of mine. Date not given on the website yet.

This season: When we last saw Endeavour Morse at the end of Season 6, he was settling in at the station and the house that would become home to his character in the Inspector Morse series. But it doesn’t ensure happiness for our cerebral and solitary hero, who will face a series of enigmatic murders."

Van Der Valk: What? Who is this?


About: "Street-smart and unapologetic detective Piet Van Der Valk is an everyman of sorts, investigating high profile cases and gritty murders that immerse him and his team in contemporary Amsterdam’s fast-paced worlds of art, politics, addiction, mysticism, and fashion." 
Date to be announced.

Miss Scarlet and the Duke: Yet another new mystery series?


About: 
"When headstrong Eliza Scarlet is left penniless after the death of her father, she has two choices for financial security: marriage or her father’s private detective agency. But no matter how well she knows the tricks of his trade, the trade itself is deemed entirely inappropriate for a genteel lady of the 1880s. Enter “The Duke,” Scotland Yard’s Detective Inspector William Wellington, a notorious drinker, gambler, womanizer…and a partner in running the agency and solving crime, all with a dash of will-they-won’t they energy, wit, and moxie!"
No air date yet. 

And look what I found. A Facebook group for Masterpiece Mystery.

Hallmark Mysteries and Movies:

Looks like only one more NEW mystery movie this month.

Matchmaker Mysteries: A Fatal Romance April 25th, 8 p.m. central

About: When a romance writer is murdered, matchmaker Angie Dove gets entangled in another case…and with Detective Kyle Cooper. Can they read between the lines to find the murderer? Stars Danica McKellar, Victor Webster, and Bruce Boxleitner.

I was going to share a couple of books I have read also but will save that for another day.

  1. We're going to try Baptiste. I set it to record, but we haven't watched it yet. We're caught up on Endeavor, but I'm glad to know there will be further episodes at some point. Planning on watching the new season of Bosch at some point. Enjoy the ones that appeal to you, Gayle!
