Mystery 101: Killer Timing (2021)
This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, we’re diving into the most intense chapter yet Mystery 101: Killer Timing. With an escaped serial killer on the loose, a direct threat to Travis’s life, and a surprise assist from his FBI agent ex (played to perfection by Erin Cahill), Amy and Travis are in deeper than ever. We’re talking drama, grown-woman energy, and a ticking-clock thriller that blends relationship depth with genuinely creepy twists – including a body in the wall and a Wolfman revenge plot. So grab your criminology textbook and your favorite Hallmark mug – this one’s dark, twisty, and dangerously close to a 5-star review.
As part of Girls Gone Hallmark Summer School, we’re cracking open the books – and the case files – as we dissect every twist, sketchy suspect, and swoon-worthy stare between Amy and Travis.
