Boston police detective Jeff Jackson (Jesse Metcalfe) was forced to retire with a bullet in his back. He's living on Martha's Vineyard in his father's house. Childhood friend Zee Madieras (Sarah Lind) is a doctor working in the local hospital. Her father is the police Chief. Jeff finds a dead body and starts working the case.
It's a Hallmark mystery and it's a good start as far as these things go. I'm not a big fan of Jesse Metcalfe although he's fine for this type of roles. His chemistry with Sarah Lind is still developing. She has one moment of pining for him. Otherwise, they are still processing. A flashback to their childhood would be very helpful. At this point, he has more chemistry with Chelsea Hobbs. The production is not really big enough. It's very much a TV movie. I wouldn't have called it A Martha's Vineyard Mystery. I would put it in a fictional town. The mystery isn't that interesting. It would help if the siblings act more guilty. One has to wait to see if this franchise has legs.
