      I don't think so. I think the Matchmaker series started in 2018 or after.

      I didn't really like any of the above mysteries; however, I am STILL pissed off about the Garage Sale Mystery series with Lori Loughlin not being shown. I mean, I guess no other people at Hallmark have ever ever made a mistake or paid a lot of money for their kids to get into college! That must be nice, to be so perfect! I had to buy the Garage Sale complete movie set. I just wish there were more because I really loved that series. I also like the Aurora Teagarden mysteries with Candace Cameron Bure, the Murder She Baked Mysteries with Alison Sweeney, and The Crossword Mysteries with Lacey Chabert. And when is the Murder 101 series returning with Kristopher Palaha (hope I spelled that name correctly)? The last one I saw had finally gotten him together with the professor lady, and then the last scene being several months later with her standing over the body of her dead fiance with the Detective still alive. What the heck happened to the detective and professor's relationship?
