This
Hallmark Channel TV movie is one of several starring
Kellie Martin as
Samantha "Sam" Kinsey, the owner of a British-style American bookshop which traffics in
mystery novels. To improve business,
Sam hosts a book signing with three celebrity "whodunit" authors in attendance. One of the three,
Claire Beckman (
Beth Broderick), uses the occasion to announce her retirement -- whereupon she is nearly shot to death by a cleverly rigged hidden pistol. A second attempt on
Claire's life, using poison, succeeds, whereupon local police chief
Connors (
Casey Sander) places everyone under suspicion -- including
Sam. Thus, our heroine is forced once again to play amateur sleuth, with the able assistance of her friends and colleagues, especially enigmatic former CIA agent
Philby (
Clarence Williams III).
Mystery Woman: Mystery Weekend debuted January 7, 2005.
