A Deadly Deed (2021 TV Movie)
6/10
The Everstone Curse
15 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Jackie Everstone is a widow who inherited a $150 million estate from her husband Jonathan, who died under suspicious circumstances. Three years have passed since Jonathan's death, and Jackie is about to tie the knot with Kevin, a man whose shadowy past she knows nothing about.

While there was good pacing and an ebb-and-flow to the action, the film's main premise that Jackie would become involved with Kevin seemed strained and far-fetched. Kevin was so sleazy and the mask slipped so often that it was never believable that either Jackie or her perceptive daughter Madison would want him to take the place of Jonathan. And they never researched his current position as a plastic surgeon in which he is battling malpractice and is flat broke.

Jackie is in the process of opening the new Momentum dance studio with her best friend Kat. That subplot will figure in a surprising twist at the end. The preview of the new studio written by the journalist Maya Wilder turned inexplicably into a hit job that discussed the "curse" of the Everstone clan more than the dance studio.

The various plot strands were connected through the kind assistance of William Kimble, the brother of Jonathan. Jackie had been completely in the dark about the troubled Everstone family, and she never met her two brothers-in-law while her husband was alive. Her new awakening is to get to know the Everstones in ways she could never have imagined!
