Rueben's Ramblings

On November 22, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries original movie Murder She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery will debut at 9 PM.

The Cookie Jar’s busiest time of the year also happens to be the most wonderful time for Christmas cookies, Hannah Swenson’s (Allison Sweeney) own special plum pudding. She’s busy as can be and loving it. She also gets a kick out of ‘Lunatic Larry Jaeger’s Crazy Elf Christmas Tree Lot’, a kitschy carnival taking place smack-dab in the middle of the village green. Larry thinks he’s crazy like a fox with his wild business schemes, but this time, the entrepreneur may have bitten off more than he can chew. Rumor has it that Larry’s in the red – an idea that takes a sinister turn when Hannah discovers he’s dead in his own office. It seems there are quite a few suspects – including his bitter ex-wife, his ex-partner’s daughter, a woman he was wooing, and the Crazy Elf Tree lot’s extremely exasperated investors. Now, with so many suspects to investigate and the twelve days of Christmas ticking away, Hannah’s running out of time to nab a murderous Scrooge who doesn’t want her to see the New Year. Based on the mystery series by bestselling author Joanne Fluke.

The film stars Cameron Mathison (All My Children) and Barbara Niven (Cedar Cove).
