Let's go back to basics...Murder always comes down to two things: Love or Money.

Detective Maggie and consulting chef/gourmand Henry go away on a weekend retreat of chefs at a resort/spa in the woods. Maggie who is not a very relaxed person is off-duty and ready to relax...at least prepared to show everyone that she can. Henry gives Maggie his "presidential suite" which is to die for.In attendance at the chef's retreat is a famous actress who is studying to be a chef for her next role, a reporter, a food critic, and a murderer.The reporter, Kathleen, goes missing...Henry and Maggie start investigating. This was a fun out of the city excursion for the two...but their humor, attraction, and powers of observation are spot on.I like this more mature relationship, with two professionals meeting each other on equal ground. They work together well, putting together observations and discussing possible theories until they figure who did it in this whodunnit.It is pretty amazing that Henry could taste eye drops in a drink...as a chemist myself, I am really impressed. Tetrahydrozoline.Let's go back to basics...Murder always comes down to two things: Love or Money."You know what this means?" "That we're a good team?"This was both fun and funny. You should watch it.

Number 2

This appears to be the second in the series and as such, the characters know each other but haven't progressed much past that. Maggie is slightly more than tolerant of the amateur detective, Henry, but doesn't fight working with him to solve the case. Of course along the way, they throw friendly insults at each other. It has a light air to it considering it's about murder.

I wouldn't put either one up for an Emmy, but the acting is OK.

I love how well they follow police procedures. It makes me wonder if they even have an adviser. They trample crime scenes and Henry picks up evidence with his bare hands.

But when it comes down to it, this is another amateur detective show, despite Maggie being a cop, and it's mostly about the banter and the mystery. I suspected something about the right person right from the start, but it was more about the guilty look than evidence. The evidence rolls out slowly and eventually gets to the right person.
