    Witness to Murder: A Darrow mystery7.1

    Wendie Malick is the kind of presence Hallmark slots into an ensemble rather than the poster, and across nine films she has top-billed only twice. Her best work sits in the mystery corner: the Darrow series gives her three of her strongest credits, with Witness to Murder: A Darrow Mystery and Darrow & Darrow: Body of Evidence tied at 7.1, and In the Key of Murder close behind at 6.8. That run also explains her steadiest company. Barclay Hope, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Tom Cavanagh, and Antonio Cayonne each share four films with her, so she works with a real repertory rather than a single fixed partner. She tends toward small towns and plays it straight, with three Christmas titles in the mix. If you like a familiar, dependable cast solving a courtroom puzzle, she has been part of that crew since 2008.
