McBride: Dogged2007
Forget the snow globes, John Larroquette built his Hallmark run on murder. Since 2004 he has top-billed 11 of his 15 films, and none of them are Christmas titles. His turf is the big city, with 7 set on busy streets rather than cozy town squares, and the work that defines him is the McBride mystery series, the kind of slow-burn whodunit you settle into on a rainy afternoon. The high point is McBride: The Chameleon Murder from 2005, which at 7.0 just edges out Murder Past Midnight and It's Murder, Madam, both from the same busy year. What sets him apart is the company he keeps: Marta DuBois and Matt Lutz each rode alongside him for ten films, a real recurring crew rather than a rotating cast. If you like your Hallmark with a body to find instead of a wedding to plan, he is your man.
