Just as romance starts to bloom, Lance focuses his attentions on Melody. Deranged with jealousy, Jimmy threatens to make this play, Lance’s last. When Duquette’s body is discovered backstage before the final performance, all eyes turn towards Jimmy. Only Melody believes that he is innocent. She writes her first play, Backstage , a reenactment of the events surrounding the crime, in an attempt to exonerate Jimmy Can Melody’s creative ploy save Jimmy? Watch drama unfold backstage, while Backstage unfolds on stage, and learn what happens in a chilling and unscripted final act. Book Blurb Friday is hosted by Lisa Ric...
