Aurora Teagarden Mysteries are back on Hallmark Movies & Mystersies!

The first prequel movie for the popular mystery series will debut TONIGHT, at 9 p.m. on the network, with Skyler Samuels taking over the title role.

Here’s the full summary: Post-college, Young Aurora Teagarden (Samuels) finds herself back home near her mother, Aida (Marilu Henner) in Lawrenceton to pursue her grad degree. Working as a teacher’s assistant in a crime fiction class, Aurora is struggling to settle on a thesis.

When Sally’s fiancé doesn’t show up at the wedding rehearsal, Maid of Honor Aurora gets Arthur to help her search for him. When they discover a body, everyone assumes it is Sally’s tardy groom, but when it turns out to be someone else, Sally’s fiancé becomes the main suspect.
