A Deadly Night at the Theatre

About the book

Actresses Posy Starling and Caro Hooper both made a name for themselves by portraying the fictional detective Dahlia Lively on screen. But now they are back on the stage in London's theatre district, starring in two distinct plays.

Their fellow Dahlia, Rosalind King, has arrived in the city to see their opening performances but she senses some tensions between Posy and Caro. This may be due to Caro's newfound friendship with her co-star Luke Burrows, who appears to have a past with Posy . . .

Before Rosalind can uncover the truth behind the situation, Luke is discovered dead. To make matters worse, his body is found in Posy's dressing room - with Posy standing over him, drenched in his blood.

The West End is in chaos, but the cast of the two plays stand united. Posy relies on her fellow Dahlias to prove her innocence - but she must first persuade them that she is not the culprit.

The show is the focal point... but when all their suspects are actors, how can the Dahlias distinguish between reality and fiction?

Whether you are familiar with the entire series or are just now exploring the Three Dahlias novels, this murder mystery offers an ideal escape for fans of Agatha Christie, Jessica Fellowes, and Janice Hallett.
