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.
