About the series
Billie Blessings divides her working life between a restaurant and a morning television programme. That makes her recognisable, well connected and particularly exposed when a death points back to her food. The series starts by putting Billie under suspicion, then uses her colleagues and friends to bring her into further cases. Holly Robinson Peete remains the lead as the police partnership changes later in the run.
What to expect
Expect the restaurant and television workplace to supply people with careers and reputations at stake. Billie investigates because the accused or the victims belong to her circle. Her relationship with Ian develops across the earlier films, while Murder Ever After changes the police partnership without replacing Billie.
