If you watched the TNT Mystery Movie Night presentation of Mary Higgins Clark’s and Carol Higgins Clark’s Deck the Halls last night, what did you think? Did it kidnap your interest then feed it some Christmas cookies before releasing it? And what do you think now about the concept? At HQ, we’ve found the movies…
Culminating the holiday season of crime for TNT Mystery Movie Night—though new bestsellers’ books have been picked up for next year already—is Deck the Halls, based upon Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark’s first co-authored Christmas mystery. This story brings together two of their series characters, Alvirah Meegan (Kathy Najimy), who’s a former cleaning…
Tonight, TNT Mystery Movie Night airs the penultimate of their first set of movies, Good Morning, Killer by April Smith. Smith writes “California noir,” so you can expect something decidedly dark, though—as with Lisa Gardner’s Hide—the plot for this one has been altered somewhat from its original form. April Smith has written for film and…
By now, TNT Mystery Movie Night has aired four of their first six original movies. We have seen mixed reactions from out crowd, many of whom read the original books on which these movies were based, but everyone seems to agree that the format is worth keeping. Everyone has their favorites, of course, but to…
Tonight’s premiere on TNT’s Mystery Movie Night is another legal thriller, this one by Richard North Patterson, based upon his Tony Lord novel Silent Witness.

How significantly? Well, for fans of the books, the film version of Hide introduces Alex Wilson (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), who doesn’t show up…
This week, TNT premiered Scott Turow’s Innocent and Sandra Brown’s Ricochet. Did you watch either or both, and what do you think so far? (We ask, because sometimes things that seem so promising—cough- Whitechapel-cough-can take a inexplicable turn for the meh.) So, are you excited for the offerings next week of Hide by Lisa Gardner…
Wednesday night, the second TNT Mystery Movie Night premieres Sandra Brown’s Ricochet. I am a big Sandra Brown fan and though I can’t claim to have read all 70+ of her books, I have read all her suspense novels and I’ve heard her speak a number of times at conferences. She’s always a hoot and…
Tonight, TNT’s Mystery Movie Night kicks off with its first adaption of Scott Turow’s Innocent, starring Bill Pullman as an older and not-always-wiser Judge Rusty Sabich, a man long-ago accused of killing his lover who’ll be suspected this time around of killing his difficult wife, played by Marcia Gay Harden. If you loved the previous…
Before we’ve even seen the first movie, TNT has announced that they’re acquiring more bestsellers to add to the first 6 movies beginning tonight.
