The Plot Line
What is the movie about?
Hallmarkies, get ready for the fifth installment of the brain teasing “Crossword Mysteries” movies. Interestingly enough, these movies were co-created by New York Times puzzle editor Will Shortz.
In Crossword Mysteries: Riddle Me Dead, Tess (Lacey Chabert) is invited on her Aunt Candace’s (Barbara Niven) favorite game show, “Riddle Me This.” Tess will be trusted as a special clue-reader on the show. However, things take an unexpected twist when the host is killed mysteriously.
When they learn that multiple crew members including Hunter (Jon Cor), who happens to be Tess’s ex had motive and access, could this be too much of a puzzling crime for even Tess to solve?
