Strange Events Lead to Murder in HM&M’s ‘Mystery 101: Words Can Kill’ (PHOTOS)

The Mystery 101 mysteries are back with Words Can Kill, premiering Sunday, September 15 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

When Crime Fiction Professor Amy Winslow (Jill Wagner) goes to her office, she surprises an intruder. Calling Detective Travis Burke (Kristoffer Polaha) to the scene, the two discover nothing has been stolen. It’s just the beginning of a series of strange events – and murders – that lead to the arrest of Graham Winslow (Robin Thomas), the famed author of the bestselling Atticus Keller detective novels, who is also Amy’s father.

Charged with killing Betsy Crane (Marci T. House), Graham seems to be the least likely suspect, especially since Betsy is the publisher who launched his career. Nevertheless, all the evidence points to Graham. Additionally, a man was shot in his car right outside of Graham’s house!

Convinced her father is innocent, Amy sets out to find the real killer with the help of her graduate assistant Bud (Preston Vanderslice) and her good friend Holly (Amanda Wong). With two people murdered, the last thing this case needs is another body, but that’s exactly what’s thrown into the mix when author Rick Fitch (Milo Shandel) is found dead at the bottom of a canyon. If you like mysteries with ample suspects, you’ll enjoy this one.
