Hallmark Mystery fans, Jill Wagner and Kristoffer Polaha are back with another great mystery, Mystery 101: An Education In Murder. This is the fifth of the series. What is this movie about and when can fans see it?

What Is Mystery 101: An Education In Murder About?

Who knew that being a college professor could be so deadly? Well, Professor Amy Winslow (Wagner) knows. According to Hallmark, her friend Mac (Garage Sale Mystery’s Steve Bacic), a Mark Twain scholar, is in prison. He was accused of injecting strychnine into another professor’s asthma inhaler. Was it for tenure? No. It seems that the deceased professor found an early copy of Huckleberry Finn, and that could hurt Mac’s thesis.

In comes Detective Travis Burke (Polaha) to the rescue! Jill manages to get him involved. Turns out, Burke’s predecessor is a now retired cop that originally arrested Mac. This former officer even goes out of his way to make sure that the charge sticks.

Bring in a newly arrived writer, whose own research uncovers a five-year-old unsolved murder, also with a poisoned professor. And there are accusations of plagiarism. Can she help Amy prove Mac’s innocence?

Lots Of Hallmark Romance!

According to Hallmark’s On Location video for Mystery 101: An Education In Murder, there is a lot of romance simmering under this very complex mystery. Kristoffer Polaha explains that they “put the lid on this attraction.” That is because the mystery gets in the way of the smouldering glances and innuendos. Polaha smiles and says “it’s fun!”

Fun it certainly is. Their chemistry is so good that the two on seem to finish each other’s sentences on and off screen. Travis trusts Amy and she helps him solve these crimes.

Amy can’t believe her colleague, a Mark Twain scholar, poisoned a professor to get an early draft of Huck Finn. Determined to prove his innocence, Amy enlists help from Travis, whose predecessor is the cop who convicted her friend. Now the retired officer is going to great lengths to make sure his arrest stands. But Amy’s not the only one who wants the conviction overturned. A woman writing a book about the case is linking it to another poisoned professor who accused a student of plagiarism. Both murders certainly bring a new meaning to the saying “publish or perish.” Photo: Kristoffer Polaha Credit: ©2020 Crown Media United States LLC/Photographer: Kailey Schwerman
