The actress hinted at some relationship drama that will add to the cozy and fun storytelling of the show, set in a small town where a police chief named Karl, along with his girlfriend Cassandra, investigates mysterious murders based on novels by L.R. Wright.
In the latest episode of the show that aired on October 22, Cassandra finds herself kidnapped by someone from Karl’s past, Gordon, played by Devon Sawa. A high-speed car chase ensues, with Karl ultimately saving Cassandra in the nick of time. However, the incident leaves Cassandra visibly shaken, as she asks to be alone on the way to the hospital and breaks down in tears in the back of the ambulance.
Kreuk previously discussed the balance of mystery and romance in the show, noting that it is primarily a murder mystery with a detective new to a small community confronting a series of murders. She highlighted the beautiful setting of the show in the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, with its breathtaking scenery. Additionally, she emphasized the love story aspect of the series, focusing on Cassandra and Karl’s relationship and their journey to find lasting and meaningful connections.
Despite the challenges faced by Cassandra and Karl in the upcoming episodes, Kreuk expressed her enjoyment at the character’s development, particularly her time spent in the library. She mentioned that while Cassandra’s librarian skills are currently restricted to the library, it adds a unique element to the show’s storytelling, with multiple storylines that elegantly weave together. Murder in a Small Town airs on Fox on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET, providing fans with a mix of mystery, romance, and intrigue in each episode.
