This is actually a decent mystery with moderate complexity for a TV movie in a 2 hour time slot. The acting is ok. The dialogue is ok and doesn't get cliché like some gumshoe mysteries. The romance between Sophia and Jackson doesn't really make sense. Sophia does what is one of my pet peeves about amateur detective mysteries - she constantly takes big risks many endangering her life.
This movie is not typical of a Christmas movie in the sense of the usual Christmas activities. The only Christmas connections are the Secret Santa present which is a nutcracker. The background score is a little more intense than I'd like especially for a Christmas movie.
