Behind the Fourth Wall takes the reader behind the scenes of a theatrical production in Cape Cod when Noah Miller, a playwright and theatre reviewer, has the opportunity to assist in the presentation of his own play. Plagued by the tragic events of his past and struggling with guilt, Noah finds answers, forgiveness, and a chance to move on with his life.

This novel was submitted as a mystery suspense, but I feel the pacing and plot places it in the literary genre. The author does a very good job developing his characters and giving the reader an important connection to the protagonist. It’s obvious from the beginning that Mr. Solomowitz has experience in the theatrical world. He paints a detailed picture of the domain, something that would appeal to theatre buffs. He uses a supporting cast of old and new friends and the occasional, interesting appearance of a young woman to plot Noah’s recovery from the pain of his past. This is a novel that will interest readers who love a story of self-discovery and second chances.

Sublime Line: “Behind the Fourth Wall is an entertaining story of healing, love, and forgiveness, wrapped up in the intriguing world of live theatre.”
