Mystery 101: Deadly History (2021)
This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, Amy and Travis trade college campus crime scenes for small-town suspense in upstate New York in Mystery 101: Deadly History. When Amy’s uncle goes missing, the investigation takes a dark turn, and the clues start piling up faster than suspects. But just when you think things are wrapping up, the final 30 seconds hit – and now we’re spiraling. Seriously, how are we supposed to go on after that ending?
