Review of Curious Caterer: Grilling Season

I miss the Hailey Dean series. While I like the actors in this new series, so far they just fail to make this new mystery stand out. There is no connection to the audience and the pacing is so deliberate, and slow, that it's borderline boring. Also annoying. Too many stupid plot holes and mistakes. When the detective is told by the caterer that her ex "wouldn't do that, you have to listen to me", it's just dumb. She is not a trained investigator, keeps inserting herself into the investigation, and actually removes what might be important evidence by herself, without informing anyone (much less the police), and sits in her car to look over the papers! The Murder Board the two women concoct faces the windows and glass door where everyone enters her home? The murderer, easily identified in the first 20 minutes, injects the heroine not once but twice in a short time, twice and she's wide awake when the detective arrives to save her? The bumbling sidekick to the detective who allows potential evidence to be carried into the police station by civilians, and didn't even escort them? Come on! Tighten up the plots, give the characters more personality, and put some life and believability into this series.
