Time of Death (LMN movie)



Hi readers!  Sometimes we have stereotypes that need fixin'!

Stereotype 1:  Blondes are dumb!  Stereotype 2:  LMN movies are soppy and stupid!

I've often reviewed LMN mysteries and lauded them in this blog.  I came across one the other day that absolutely knocked by socks off!  Sure, a lot of LMN offerings are not so great.  Mostly, the made-for-women network offers tales of men who are rats and women who are abused by those rats.

But lest ye be mistaken, don't put the mysteries in that category.

Time of Death is a fantastically crafted piece.  It stars Kathleen Robertson, the pretty blonde above, as the brilliant detective who must solve the puzzle.

And just what is the puzzle?

As the title suggests, folks get killed at exactly the same time...with way too much frequency!  Is there a link between the murders?  Is the culprit someone in the corporate world?  Why is there no modus operandi?  Some die by getting pushed out of windows, others by getting shot.  What in the world is the pattern?  And why do the victims all die on different days at the same minute on the clock?

No spoiler, dear readers, so you must find out for yourself!

Of course, that beautiful detective works with a handsome young fellow, her new partner, and you can imagine what those two do when they're not sleuthing!  Yes, the love motif is fun too.

I guarantee that this mystery will grab you and not let go.  Great filmmaking on the channel that often gets maligned yet offers diamonds in the rough.

Grade:   A+    Find this film on your TV listings and go for it!  You won't be sorry!
