I like Allison Sweeney and the way her character Alex treats people meanwhile relentlessly pursuing the solution in a quiet way. I've said in reviews of the other two Chronicle Mysteries that I especially like that this amateur detective isn't reckless and she at least has some justification for getting involved. The fact that Sweeney and Benjamin Ayres, Drew, work well together is another big plus.
As in any good mystery, there are good clues and red herrings. I didn't see the outcome coming, but another reviewer did so I guess there were some clues to that end which I missed. I did think that one of the red herrings was too obvious.

Another watchable mystery
Clear my name
Apparently Alison Sweeney's pod cast mystery debut that now she has a permanent place in the local newspaper. Benjamin Ayres and Dave Collette are
back once again to lend able assistance and to help with the morgue files of
their newspaper.
This episode opens with the discovery of the body of a woman who had disappeared for two years and whose remains are found in a national forest in
the western Pennsylvania region. She had already been declared legally dead
and her husband was tried and acquitted. The prosecutor made a rush to
judgment and the acquittal was due to the lack of evidence. A body would
have helped.
It's the acquitted husband Peter Benson who asks that Sweeney use her pod
cast to find the real killer. By the way his acquittal did not mean he was innocent.
All kinds of suspects and all kinds of motives are given for the woman was
murdered. It turns out it was for one of the oldest of motives out there.
This one is nicely done though I kind of guessed who did it about halfway
through.
The Chronicle Mysteries: The Wrong Man
6/10 - this series is not nearly as fun as Murder, She Baked, but still worth watching
