Brazen
It’s “Murder She Wrote” when mystery writer Grace Miller (Alyssa Milano) lends her crime solving skills to catch her sister’s murderer. This is a very contrive storyline which may be difficult to believe. First, Miller develops a romantic relationship with her sister’s next door neighbor who also happens to be a cop & the murder becomes his case. Miller’s sister is an English teacher who moonlights as an online dominatrix which adds a salacious element interest. There is the usual cast of possible suspects but it did not seem very hard for me to pick out the murderer. Of course, Miller is smarter than the cops as she horns her way on to the case even though she is to personally involved. Then, true to genre form, she must put herself in harms way to catch the killer. All of this it not hard to predict any s it follows the tried & true pattern we all have seen before. This movie feels more like a pilot for a TV remake.
Alien gives it 2 “Fantasy Inc.” stars out of 4.
