Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C

Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C offers another mystery for music teacher turned amateur sleuth Gethsemane Brown (Tamera Mowry-Housley) to solve. Of course she's got an unfair advantge with the help of her ghostly pal Eamon (Risteard Cooper), who can witness and overhear things she cannot, and being able to talk directly to the first murder victim in a sea captain (Gerry O'Brien) killed at sea. The mystery also involves the death of the captain's murderer (a ghost Gethsemane doesn't communicate with, likely because the case would be solved immediately), a long lost violin, and revenge.

Why Gethsemane can see some ghosts but not others is certainly a big plot hole to the setup, along with her constantly apparently talking to herself in public and only occasionally being noticed. In terms of B-plots, Gethsemane continues to be courted by both the local investigator (Adam Fergus) and another teacher (Marco Grazzini), and we get the arrival of Gethsemane's brother (Robert Mitchell) who learns his sister now shares their father's gift.

When the plot sticks to the mystery, it works well enough offering a few red herrings that at times implicate locals who Gethsemane considers friends. Given that it's a Hallmark mystery, however, the plot is stuffed with lightweight emotional sequences or cute romcom moments, almost all of which could be cut to trim the running-time down considerably without impacting the main story in any real way.
