OMG Kellie Martin has to be the most boring actress I've ever seen! No facial expressions, no personality, just deadpan all the way through. Except I couldn't get all the way through. I couldn't stay awake and I wasn't even tired, just bored to tears. I decided my time was more valuable than to waste it on Kellie Martin movies.

With some leftover issues from the previous Hailey Dean Mystery, Deadly Estate finds our former prosecutor turned psychotherapist now involved in looking for her friend Michelle Harrison settle her estate. With both parents now deceased and Harrison wants to sell the old family home now worth a few pretty pennies. I can identify with that as my brother had to do the same thing. Neither of us had a boyfriend who was a real estate broker to help push things a long who is played here by Jim Thorburn.But in the middle of selling Harrison disappears, Thorburn is nearly hit by a car and Hailey's new boyfriend Matthew McCaul of the Medical Examiner's office nearly dies from a poisoning.Kellie Martin is now hip deep involved and appears to be in the middle of all this. The solution however exposes a pair of criminals involved in a very deadly scam.Martin is a calm and very plucky heroine. Still she has unresolved issues from the Hailey Dean story and it looks like she will be dealing with them for the foreseeable future. Fans will look forward.

I always enjoy the story line of the movies and find them entertaining. What I don't enjoy is the costume design. I am sorry to whoever you are but it actually distracts me from fully engaging in the shows. Kelly Martin, especially, looks awful in most of her clothing. I feel like there are so many other options that would look more flattering on her. Additionally, some of the of the other female actors wear odd combinations. Anyhow, I should be able to watch and not be distracted by wardrobe. Sorry...
