The Chronicle Mysteries: Vines That Bind (2019)
Season 1, Episode 3
9/10
Another very good Chronicle mystery
8 September 2021
With having now watched three Chronicle mysteries, I feel confident in saying that we can expect to see well thought out mysteries from this TV franchise. Along with an intriguing mystery in each episode, the show has established four or so main characters, their habits and quirks, and their comfort and respect for one another.

I am pretty much watching "Chronicle Mysteries" for the first time back to back with watching "Murder, She Baked" for the first time.

It is genuinely fascinating to watch Alison Sweeney in both shows. I feel like I am watching identical twins. Both may look alike, but they are both completely different personalities, and you would never mistake Hannah for Alex.

I would agree that the cast of secondary characters got a bit confusing in this episode--particularly their relationship to each other. I don't find that to be a flaw, though. Most good murder mysteries are complicated puzzles that, midway through, would definitely benefit from a page or two of flow charts!

My favorite part of this episode was the interplay between the four main characters, the teasing, the concern, and their intuition of what each other were thinking.
