Hailey Dean Mysteries: A Prescription for Murder
Where Solving Crimes is Just What the Doctor Ordered!"

If you love Hallmark Channel movies but think they could use fewer snow-covered gazebos and more medical murder mysteries, then Hailey Dean Mysteries: A Prescription for Murder is the perfect dose of suspense for you! Because in Hallmark movies, even a routine checkup can turn into a full-blown criminal investigation.

Hailey Dean (Kellie Martin) is a former prosecutor-turned-therapist (because, naturally, solving crimes and giving therapy go hand in hand). When a string of suspicious deaths rocks the local hospital, Hailey swaps out her cozy office for some good old-fashioned detective work. With her sharp instincts and her signature “the police should really just let me handle this” energy, she teams up with Detective Garland (Viv Leacock) to find the culprit—who, of course, is hiding in plain sight.

While this isn’t one of your traditional Hallmark holiday movies (no Christmas trees, but plenty of dramatic hallway conversations and suspicious doctors with shifty eyes), it still delivers everything you love about Hallmark movies: a smart, determined lead, a mystery that somehow gets solved within 90 minutes, and just enough romantic tension between Hailey and Garland to keep things interesting. Will Hailey crack the case before another victim falls? Will Garland finally accept that Hailey is basically the best detective in town? You already know the answer.

Final Verdict:
If you love Hallmark Channel movies but wish they had more crime-solving and fewer small-town pie-baking contests, Hailey Dean Mysteries: A Prescription for Murder is the perfect thriller-lite watch. Just be warned—you may start side-eyeing your doctor’s handwriting just in case. 🔎⚖️🏥
