Will The Cliffhanger Be Resolved In This New Hallmark Mystery?

Sleuthers were very unhappy at the end of Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery. That is because Hannah and Mike split up at the end.

However, this movie promises to bring the fallout, and hopefully the reunion of this once-engaged couple.

What seems to indicate that the love triangle with Hannah, Mike, and Norman (Gabriel Hogan)is over is that Hogan is not listed in this movie at all.

This means that it is Hannah and Mike without Delores pushing her daughter into the arms of the dentist.
