I thought oh here we go another weepy. I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised. It is hilarious and has a great plot. I did figure it out but not until near the end. It was complex enough to keep you interested, and they didn't treat us as stupid, it wasn't made easy for the audience which is really refreshing. You had to listen to get the twists and turns and Wendie Malick could not have been cast more perfectly. I loved her in Frasier and she looks younger now! I think this is worth a watch whether it's on UK Channel 5 or Hallmark or if you hire it. It's a cracking film and a pleasurable way to spend an evening or afternoon. Keep up the great work in producing the best TV movies ever Scott Smith you are the king.

On the night of their thirtieth wedding anniversary celebration, Michael Brandon, who owns and runs a research firm, tells his wife, Audrey Brandon, that he wants to leave her for another woman, his colleague Christine Boll. This news comes as a shock to Audrey, who never thought there was a problem in their marriage let alone infidelity. Several months later on the eve of their divorce being finalized with Michael long having moved out, Audrey finds Michael stabbed to death in her kitchen. Audrey becomes the police's chief suspect, they having enough evidence to charge her with his murder, which they plan to do following Michael's funeral. As such, Audrey, donning a disguise, decides to go on the run so that she can discover who really killed Michael. Although Michael was generally an up front kind of man, Audrey knows there are others out there who may have had motive, such as Christine, and Michael's former business partner, Artie Green. Beyond those with motive, Audrey also has to decide who she can and cannot trust to help her. Among those in the category that she would trust with her life are her and Michael's son, Alex Brandon, and her two best friends, neighbors Anita Dixie and Phyllis Dietrichson, which may be contrary to their respective husbands, Ted Dixie and Carter Dietrichson, who were friends with Michael. The one person she wants to trust is her college boyfriend, now married David Larabee, who had business dealings with Michael, whose wife Joan Larabee was a close, personal friend of Michael's, and who Audrey admits to herself is the one person who she would have even remotely considered cheating with herself if the opportunity ever arose.

Hallmark mystery
On their 30th wedding anniversary, Michael Brandon surprises his wife Audrey Brandon (Wendie Malick) by announcing that he's leaving her for his associate Christine Boll. Months later, they are finalizing their divorce when Audrey stumbles upon his husband in the kitchen stabbed to death. She becomes the main suspect as Michael had moved out months earlier. She has solve the case herself.
Wendie Malick is a joy. She tries her best. This murder mystery tries to be comedic. It falls flat and deflates the tension. It's all meaningless as Audrey chases down one character after another. Non of them stand out. It's hard to follow her investigation with people who don't matter and a story without flow. Quite frankly, she needs a investigative buddy and she needs to be smarter. It's a series of information dumps. Hallmark needs to do better.

they get extra points for naming the characters after people in Billy Wilder films
This is kind of cute, thanks to the performances of veteran stars Wendie Malick, Gregory Harrison, and Andrea Martin.
Malick plays Audrey, who, after a wonderful anniversary party, finds out her husband wants to leave her for another woman. They split up. One night she comes downstairs and finds her husband has not only entered the house, but he's dead with a knife in his stomach. Immediately a suspect and a long-time viewer of Forensic Files and Snapped, Audrey takes off, determined to find the murderer.
Many of the characters are named after characters in Billy Wilder films, such as Sunset Boulevard, Sabrina, Stalag 17, Kiss Me, Stupid, and The Apartment.
It's light, it's amusing, and Gregory Harrison looks great.
