In attendance at Aldermere: the VIP fans, staying at house; the fan club president turned convention organiser; the team behind the newest movie adaptation of Davenport's books; the Davenport family themselves; and the three actresses famous for portraying Dahlia Lively through the decades. In between filming scenes, signing autographs for locals, photoshoots, talk show appearances in London and jetting off to France for an impromptu party, the three Dahlias do what they do best - surrupticiously sleuth.

In attendance: the VIP fans, staying at Aldermere; the fan club president turned convention organiser; 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.

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. It was a fast-paced murder mystery that left me questioning every character and possible motive. However, it wasn’t predictable or boring, meaning it was a LOT of guessing.
