Based on a beach novel by author Lindsay Maracotta, Hallmark's fun and breezy made-for-TV movie HOLLYWOOD MOM'S MYSTERY playfully skewers the shallow, self-obsessed world of show business while offering a slyly tongue-in-cheek murder mystery that parodies film-noir conventions. FAMILY TIES' Justine Bateman stars as down-to-earth children's book illustrator Lucy Freers, whose stable home life with husband Kit (Andrew McCarthy) and nine-year-old daughter Chloe (Holliston Coleman) makes her an anomaly in her celebrity-ridden Beverly Hills neighborhood. But Lucy finds herself reluctantly thrust into the surreal world of the rich and famous when the trophy wife of their movie-star neighbor Woody Prentice (eternally tan George Hamilton) turns up bludgeoned to death in the Freers' swimming pool. With the help of no-nonsense police detective Theresa Shoe (Elizabeth Peña), Lucy turns amateur sleuth to find the killer in a series of gleefully comic adventures that penetrate deep into the heart of darkness that is the collagen-implanted, liposuctioned jet-set.
