Mystery 101: Collection 1 (Pilot / Playing Dead / Words Can Kill / Dead Talk) DVD

Literature professor Amy Winslow (Jill Wagner) specialises in crime fiction at Elmstead College in the Pacific Northwest, and after years of teaching her Mystery 101 class she's become an expert in figuring out whodunnit. She's also good at sizing people up, which is why when she meets Detective Travis Cole (Kristoffer Polaha) in a local cafe she instantly knows by his accent he's from Chicago and that he's new to the police force and no longer married. How? There's red mud on his shoes, indicating he's staying at the Scarlet Ridge Inn, and the fourth finger on his left hand is tanned except for a sliver of lighter skin where there once was a ring. With those skills of deduction, Amy works with Detective Cole to uncover crimes and catch killers.
