By Movieguide® Contributor
Candace Cameron Bure’s first movie in Great American Family’s Ainsley McGregor mystery franchise is all set for release on October 4.
“In THE AINSLEY MCGREGOR MYSTERIES: A CASE FOR THE WINEMAKER, Ainsley McGregor (Bure) a former Chicago criminologist returns to her hometown of Sweet River, Texas. She has chosen to trade full-time crime work to open Bless Your Arts, a market for artisans to sell crafts and wares,” the synopsis reads. “But Ainsley cannot deny her first love is crime solving and accepts a position teaching a criminology class at the local community college.”
When a murder in a winery upsets the little town, McGregor puts her skills to use. Her brother, who is also the town’s sheriff, doesn’t want her to get involved.
“But, Ainsley knows the pieces of this puzzle do not fit. To help her friend and with the unexpected assistance from some goodhearted local busybodies – Ainsley McGregor is back on the case.”

Bure added, “There’s nothing more exciting for me than being back in the cozy mystery genre. Mysteries are so fun to watch and to try to solve. I hope our faithful fans and audiences fall in love with the townspeople of Sweet River, Texas and Ainsley McGregor’s keen eye for solving mysteries. In this next-level mystery series, the family dynamics and developing relationships alone should keep you coming back for more!”
This isn’t Bure’s first time in the world of crime-solving. She previously starred in 18 of Hallmark’s AURORA TEAGARDEN mysteries.
