Hannah Swensen Mystery returns to Hallmark Mystery
Category: Television and Streaming
Alison Sweeney returns as Hannah Swensen in a new Hannah Swensen Mystery on Hallmark Mystery (formerly Hallmark Movies and Mysteries). Sweeney has said, “The fans have been so vocal in their love of these characters and it’s exciting to be bringing them back to life and to return to the Hannah’s bakery where it all began.”
In the latest movie, written and produced by Sweeney, Hannah’s fiancé Mike (Cameron Mathison) has left so she is a single woman. But will that status last for long? There are several men who could step into her life on a personal level. Fans will have to wait to see what happens.
In the meantime, in this latest movie, One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, Hannah is teaching a baking class at the local college and enjoying it and the interaction with the students, who, incidentally, thoroughly love the delicious treats they are learning to create. Between her bakery and teaching, she is a busy woman. But so is her mother Delores (Barbara Niven) who has just started her own private investigation business.
When an explosion in her classroom occurs, Hannah is not sure it was an accident. And when a professor is found dead, well, that’s enough for this amateur sleuth to put two and two together. Something is definitely amiss at that college. Between her friend Norman (Gabriel Hogan), her sisters and mother, not to mention Mike’s replacement Lonie Murphy (Daylin Willis), they investigate the murder by eliminating the suspects one by one. But can the amateurs get to the bottom of the mystery before the professionals?
As viewers of this series know, Hannah is intuitive and very astute. And now, enter the prosecuting attorney Chad Norton (Victor Webster), and the investigation grows.
Besides the drama in this series, viewers are treated to some of the most attractive and mouth watering desserts from Hannah. She is definitely a great baker as well as a great detective.
With her mother providing some comic relief to this situation, and the potential budding personal relationship between Hannah and Chad, things are starting to heat up, and that’s not referring to the ovens. Fans are also waiting to see if perhaps Norman might be more than just a good friend down the road.
Previously titled the “Murder, She Baked” series, Sweeney’s Hannah mysteries are now “A Hannah Swensen Mystery” movies on Hallmark Mystery channel. Hannah is a delightful character and her mother adds some fun and additional entertainment to the stories.
One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery is now showing on Hallmark Mystery. This is the first film written by Sweeney. As of now there is no announcement on the next movie in this enjoyable and delicious series.
