About the Books
The Three Dahlias series reimagines the classic cozy mystery by centering on three actresses who have each portrayed the same beloved fictional detective, nicknamed "Dahlia," across different eras of film and television. When the current, former, and original Dahlias are brought together for a reunion, a real murder upends the celebration and forces the unlikely trio to use their screen-honed sleuthing instincts to catch a killer hiding in plain sight. Each following book drops the three women into a fresh, atmospheric setting, from festive house parties to bustling theatre productions, pairing clever plotting with genuine warmth between the leads. Katy Watson's background in stage and screen writing shines through in dialogue-driven scenes, theatrical settings, and a cast of vividly drawn suspects who always have something to hide. Fans of cozy mystery staples will appreciate the series' affectionate nods to classic detective fiction, its gentle humor, and its focus on female friendship across different ages and life stages. With puzzle-box plotting reminiscent of golden age crime fiction updated for modern readers, this five-book paperback set offers hours of twisty, satisfying entertainment.
