About this deal
The three famous actresses create a captivating crime fighting trio, their different ages adding to the inclusive experience. When a weekend convention is booked at the stately home where the author of the series lived, the mix of literary, television and movie celebrities, event organisers, and fans creates chaos and intrigue when murder is declared.
Watson brilliantly pays homage to the Golden Age of Detective fiction, while giving the genre a contemporary feel.What better way to combine the golden age of mystery with the present than by a convention of mystery fans, set on the grounds where one of their favorite mystery series was written, with not one but three of the actors playing their favorite character serving as guests of honor? In attendance: the VIP fans, staying at Aldermere; the fan club president turned convention organizer; the team behind the newest movie adaptation of Davenport's books; the Davenport family themselves - and the three actresses famous for portraying Lettice's 1930s detective, Dahlia Lively. And ex-child star Posy Starling, fresh out of the fame wilderness (and rehab) to take on the Dahlia mantle for the new movie. For the final 100 pages I was curled up into the book desperately trying to reach the end and discover the truth.
The story follows three generations of actresses for one role, the role of a detective (a Miss Marple if you may) and their journey in uncovering multiple murders and a whole family of secrets.When fictional death turns into real bodies, can the three Dahlias find the answers to the murders among the fans, the film crew and the family - or even in Lettice's books themselves?
