Sweet River is calling again! Candace Cameron Bure is officially slipping back into her amateur detective shoes for the fourth chapter in the hit franchise on Great American Pure Flix and Great American Family.
Production is currently underway on The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Model Maker, set to debut in early 2027.
What Is the New Ainsley McGregor Mystery About?
Based on the popular book series by Candace Havens, the upcoming fourth movie finds former criminology professor turned local sleuth Ainsley McGregor stepping into the world of forensic science history.
Ainsley is gearing up to help organize a high-profile university exhibition celebrating Frances Glessner Lee—a real-life pioneer in forensic science renowned for creating detailed, miniature crime-scene dioramas (known as the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death).
However, things take a dark turn when a shocking murder rocks the quiet town of Sweet River:
- The Clues: Intricately crafted scale models might actually hold the key to solving the crime.
- The Stakes: As Ainsley digs deeper into the mystery, the evidence starts pointing dangerously close to her inner circle.
- The Team: Ainsley must lean on her most trusted allies—her brother, Sheriff Ryan McGregor, and Fire Chief Jake Trenton—alongside the fan-favorite, ever-curious local Book Club.
