    It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review! ABOUT NELLY KNOWS MYSTERIES: ALL MANNERS OF MURDER Nelly and Detective Michael set out to solve the murder of a guest while at a lavish dinner. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR NELLY KNOWS MYSTERIES: ALL MANNERS OF MURDER March 14, 2026 | Hallmark CAST & CREW OF NELLY KNOWS MYSTERIES: ALL MANNERS OF MURDER Director: David I. Strasser Writer: Katherine Wagner Cast: Pascale Hutton as Nelly Parker Kavan Smith as Michael Hogan Veronica Long BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS There's a break in and all this burglar wanted was this piece of paper with a seal on it. The dog in the house wasn't thrilled. Cut to Nelly. She's heading to work and everyone loves her. Remember, Nelly is an advice columnist. Detective Michael is trying to play it cool though. He tells his co-worker he sees her occasionally but it's a small town. Nelly gets a call from this widow who wrote to her for advice and asks her to come visit her at her manor right away...the manor from the beginning. Mrs. Palmer Arlot invites Nelly to come to this family party where she will tell the family some big news. Naturally, she asks for a plus 1. And she wants that plus 1 to be Michael. Michael is like it's a date! When they get there, Michael sees the caterer and ducks. I'm sure it's nothing. They get inside and the family clearly doesn't like Palmer. And they like her even less when she makes her big announcement - she's cutting everyone out of the will and is giving everything to her dog, Moxy. Nelly and Michael are just sitting there like uhhhhhh. Later in the evening, the lights go out. Gunshots. The lawyer is shot. He's dead. BUT Palmer is like "I felt the bullet breeze past me." In fact, she has a bullet hole in her hat. She was the intended target. Luckily for her, there's a detective in the room. They find the gun that had been tossed in a giant vase and shut the room down immediately. These are our suspects: Hux who is Palmer's brother. Hux's son, Teddy. Claire is Palmer's late-husband's sister. And Brie who is Palmer's half-sister. Plus, the caterer & the butler, although they probably didn't do it. Speaking of the caterer, Michael tells Nelly that it's his ex-wife. He promises there's nothing between them, he just didn't want to ruin their date. He asks her to be his consultant on the case. They start by questioning Palmer. They discuss the gun, which she keeps on display in the hallway. They question everyone else. They have nothing concrete and everyone has a reason why they'd do it and some of them are quite good with guns! They swab everyone's hands to see if it matches any fingerprints on the gun. Unfortunately for Brie, her prints are on the gun. She explains that she found the gun on the floor in the hallway and put it back in the case. In fact, she says Nelly saw her do that. Plus, there's no gunshot residue on anyone's hands. Naturally, Nelly and Michael are keeping an eye on the family and they discover that Teddy and Leah (Michael's ex-wife) are a secret thing! Michael requests to be taken off the case because his ex-wife is a suspect. His co-worker is like pshhhh that doesn't matter. Keep at it. Nelly is chatting with Claire and she tells her about this email she got from Palmer that was really mean. Nelly is like I know Palmer's writing...I don't think this was her. Nelly has a hunch that the dead lawyer was acting on his own accord. So they go look at some of the docs in his office and there's a lot of shady doings, including fraudulent deeds. They suspect that Brie and the lawyer were working together - she stole some of the docs. They know because she had a bite mark on her arm. Their working theory now is that Brie killed the lawyer to get him out of the equation. But before they bring that to Palmer, they look at the financial records. Turns out, the butler wasn't being paid. So they go to check out the kitchen and find a secret window that would give the butler a clear shot. Nelly goes to talk to Palmer and it suddenly all comes to her - Palmer was working with the butler to kill the lawyer because they figured out that he was taking advantage of her. Nelly tells her that her family doesn't hate her - that was all Adam. He comes in and points a rifle towards Nelly but Palmer tells him it's all over. Then Michael comes in and saves the day. The movie ends with Michael leaving Nelly a note asking for advice on how to make a move on a girl he really likes. She tells him he should just go for it.

She asks if she wants to visit Jack's grave with her and LJ. Charlotte says hard pass, I'm busy. Nathan goes to talk to Ned. He locks the doors to make sure no one walks in as he shares big news;....HE'S LOOKING FOR AN ENGAGEMENT RING! Ned says he's happy to help but needs to know the ring size first. Nathan says he's on the case. Speaking of cases, remember the fire? Nathan, Bill, and Georgie are back on that case. Nathan comes up with an idea to prove the fraud - a "drip test". They're gonna spread some false information to one of the companies and see if it finds its way to the other. But they need a mole. Obviously, they ask Rosemary and SHE'S PUMPED. The plan is simple - Rosemary will meet with National Insurance to place a false tip that would exonerate Pioneer Electric. If that information gets to Pioneer, they'll come to the police with that info which will prove they're working together. After school, Nathan tells Allie the BIG NEWS! He asks her to help find the ring size. They need to get the ring so they can trace it. They have a couple ideas - baking, cleaning, etc. But no luck! Rosemary is ready to rock n roll. She goes into the meeting and gives the performance of her life and the dude wrote down some stuff in his notebook. Allie sees Mei and Mei doing pottery and that gives her an idea - throw a pottery party and get Elizabeth to come and she'll take off her ring. Lee and Lucas are talking over Benson Hill plans when Lee brings up Fernando. Naturally, that leads to him opening up about Edie. Lee gives him some good advice. Elizabeth and Charlotte talk again about the grave site. She opens up about how she's never been before. It's just too hard. At the pottery class, all the ladies take off their rings. Allie recommends everyone close their eyes and really feel the clay. Allie grabs Elizabeth's ring and presses it into some spare clay. So I guess that works. The head of Pioneer Electric arrives at the police station and tells Nathan that he's heard some stuff. So I guess that's good. Afterward, Nathan immediately meets up with Bill, Georgie, and Rosemary and tells them the good news. Bill claims that while it would be better to have Christopher to testify, this gives them a fighting chance in court. In the evening, Bill and Georgie walk through town together. While celebrating the recent success with the investigation, Bill leans in to kiss her. She stops him and tells him she thinks their time has passed, insisting she doesn't want their relationship to turn out like her others did. Bill insists it can be different for them, highlighting that the important thing is that they make each other happy. She admits he makes a good point, and agrees to try under one condition: total honesty. He agrees without hesitation and professes he has always loved her. They share a romantic kiss.
