McBride: Dogged2007
Marta DuBois did not chase Christmas or small-town romance. She built her ten films around one thing: the McBride mysteries, a run of big-city whodunits made across 2005 and 2007. She is part of the furniture in that world, sharing all ten titles with John Larroquette and Matt Lutz, so this is a real ensemble rather than a one-off guest spot. She never top-bills, and that is fine, because the McBride pictures lean on a steady cast rather than a single name above the door. Her best-reviewed outing is McBride: The Chameleon Murder from 2005, which lands a solid 7.0, with Murder Past Midnight and It's Murder, Madam close behind. If you like your Hallmark with a body to find and a city to comb rather than a meet-cute under fake snow, her corner of the catalog is worth a look.
