Small Professional Murder

by Ned Averill-Snell

Meet Suzanne Prizzi, propsmistress for a small professional theatre in fictional Galilee, Florida. Not many people know her, but the few who do call her Spriz.When a cruel, unpopular old actor is killed in an on-stage accident, Spriz and her wingman Tommy board Spriz's eggplant-purple Jeep, Cher, and embark on a tour of Florida theatres to find a fitting heir for the late actor's meager estate. Along the way, they discover that the actor's death was no accident-and that by attempting to unravel the mystery, Spriz and Tommy have put their own lives in danger.Small Professional Murder is the debut novel from actor and playwright Ned Averill-Snell. A well-known performer in Tampa Bay's small professional theatres, Averill-Snell has appeared with Jobsite Theater, the Gorilla Theatre, Hat Trick Theatre Productions, Improbable Athenaeum and American Stage Company, and is a cofounder of Tampa Repertory Theatre."I wanted to bring people inside that world, the strange and wonderful subculture of Florida small professional theatre," Averill-Snell explains. "And then I wanted them to have a really good time there."Packed with Florida lore, theatre arcana, abundant humor and surprising tenderness, Small Professional Murder is a fast, funny, rewarding read.
