To create a ranking of the "Murder, She Baked" franchise movies that considers both the viewer rating and the number of votes cast, we used a weighted average approach. This method involves calculating a weighted score for each of the movies based on its IMDb rating and the number of people that have rated it.
Topping our list is "Murder, She Baked: A Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery," which garnered a score of 6.6 out of 10 from a substantial 2.4k votes, making it both the most-reviewed and highest-rated installment in the franchise.
Following closely is "Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery," with a rating of 6.8 out of 10. Despite its slightly higher overall rating compared to its predecessor, its lower number of votes (1.7k) placed it in second place.
Coming in third is "Murder, She Baked: A Peach Cobbler Mystery," which received a solid rating of 6.9 out of 10 based on 1.5k votes. Again, a smaller number of votes solidified it in third place despite a higher overall rating.
Securing the fourth spot is "Murder, She Baked: A Deadly Recipe," which earned a score of 6.7 out of 10 from 1.4k voters.
In fifth place is "Murder, She Baked: Just Desserts," with a lower rating of 5.8 out of 10, based on 1.2k votes.
The sixth position goes to "Sweet Revenge: A Hannah Swensen Mystery," the first installment of the revived franchise, which received a high rating of 6.9 out of 10 but only garnered 831 votes.
In seventh place is "Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery," which scored 6.3 out of 10, based on the ratings of 613 voters.
Rounding out the list is "A Zest for Death: A Hannah Swensen Mystery," with a rating of 6.9 out of 10, but due to its lower number of votes (368), it ranks lowest among the franchise installments (mathematically, at least).
