The latest case pins Tess against a new supercomputer known as BB in a puzzle-solving challenge. However, when the program’s creator, the brilliant CEO of XCal Technologies, turns up dead, Tess is once again swept into the investigation, which puts her at odds with Detective O’Connor — who can’t help but worry about her.
To add to the drama, Logan’s dad, Chief Chauncey O’Connor, considers retiring from the force with the help of Tess’ Aunt Candace (One Life to Live’s Barbara Niven). Chabert and Elliott also served as executive producers.
Chabert took to Instagram to thank fellow Hallmark star Peter Benson, of the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, who directed the movie and shared, “Enjoyed working with you so much! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.”

In a recent interview, Chabert gave props to the series’ creators and writers and stated, “If you pull one thread and it’s not right, it’s like a domino effect.” Watch the interview segment to hear what she thinks is the most important part of the production.
