Storyline:
Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New takes place during Aurora’s (Skyler Samuels) post-college days when she finds herself back home in Lawrenceton. While her mother, Aida (Marilu Henner), struggles to keep her newfound real estate business, Aurora supports herself by working as a teacher’s assistant in a crime fiction class and waitresses at the local diner at night, where she shares her love of researching true crime with her best friend, Sally (Kayla Heller), and police officer, Arthur (Evan Roderick). When Sally’s fiancée doesn’t show up at their wedding rehearsal, maid of honor Aurora gets Arthur to help her search for him. When they discover a body, everyone assumes it is Sally’s tardy groom, but when it turns out to be someone else, Sally’s fiancée becomes the main suspect.
