Grace is a famous fiction writer. Her specialization? Women's murder mysteries. Her sister, Kathleen, calls her to her home. The sister has a secret life. While Grace is on a date with a neighbour called Ed Jennings, a homicide detective, her sister is murdered. 

Police investigate. Then there is second murder. Then a third that doesn't succeed. Grace can't stay away. She offers her help to the police and Ed's boss retains her as consultant, despite Ed's protests. Can the mystery writer enter criminals mind?

Alyssa plays Grace. She has a horrible hair style in this movie. Doesn't give a scintillating performance. Was she the right choice? Emilie impresses more as the murdered sister. Sam plays Ed. He is ok. Alison doesn't look like police captain. 

The acting is average. Casting is average. Direction is average. Handling of the story is average. Screenplay is average. In short it's an average movie. Nothing special. 

This movie is based on book 'Brazen Virtue' by famous author Nora Roberts. I haven't read the book, so can't say how true movie is to the book. 

Positives: Umm....

Negatives: Everything is average. 

Give it a miss.
