Villainess Review: Pamela Shankle (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries)
One of the cornerstones of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is the Aurora Teagarden film series, which I absolutely adore! For one, the films are based on the series of novels written by Charlaine Harris, who also gave us the Sookie Stackhouse novels that led to HBO's True Blood TV series. Secondly, the film series features Candace Cameron Bure as the titular Aurora Teagarden, and boasts a regular cast that consists of Niall Matter, Lexa Doig, and Marilu Henner. And a third reason why I love the series: it's an outright villainess magnet--with 13 villainesses appearing in the number of films that have aired since 2015.
