The Fourth Wall (2001)

After a near-lethal confrontation with a serial killer， reporter Alex Bernier is happy to cover a nice， dull story on the hapless attempts to save a grand old theater in her upstate New York college town. But when the body of a long-vanished actress turns up in the wreckage and the theater's advocates start dying off， Alex is at odds with one strange troupe of suspects: a duplicitous former child star， a cadre of Martha Stewart-esque academic wives with nasty secrets， and a vicious mob boss. Again， Alex must play detective， sorting illusion from deadly truth-and， with luck， outwitting a murderer determined to bring the curtain down on her act.
