This was probably the best Aurora Teagarden TV mystery I have watched so far, as far as I am concerned.
The murder itself has an emotional component to it, that makes it personal--Sally Allison's aunt is poisoned in full view of a wedding party at which all the regular cast members are present.
The clues to motives are revealed in a sequential fashion that cleverly builds, but not necessarily to the correct conclusion.
While one suspect is primary, there are several others that engage in behavior, that make them suspicious.
There was a genuine attempt there to make the solving of the murder an ensemble effort, which was enjoyable to watch. Aida Teagarden, Aurora's mother, has more of a role in this episode, and Marilu Henner was believable as an accomplished businesswoman.
Possible Spoiler:
Why did Gladys Allison-McCourt go to another lawyer to have a new will drawn up? And how did Victor Hansen find out about the new will, when even Gladys's own son did not know about it?
(It is possible that this was all explained at the end and I just missed it.)
