From Library Journal
At 54, Charles Paris is still nursing the hope that one day his acting talent will be showcased in a brilliant West End play, The Hooded Owl. Alex Household, who wants the leading role, and Charles are feeling more and more confident as announcements are made that the play will have a West End run. But their hopes are dashed when they're told that both their parts are being given to well-known television actors. Alex storms off the set in a rage, but Charles stays on as an understudy. When the leading man is murdered on opening night, it's up to Charles to prove Alex innocent. Murder Unprompted is an engaging look at backstage life in the British theater. Packed with suspense and humor, it is certain to please mystery and theater fans. Simon Prebble's narrative superbly enlivens each of the characters. Guaranteed to be a hit, this book is highly recommended for all public libraries.ATheresa Connors, Arkansas Tech Univ., Russellville
