Typically the kind of murder mystery I love, in a cozy setting. 
We follow 3 actress from 3 different generations, all incarning the same famous polar icone. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and will have to learn to work together to solve all the mysteries from this book.

Classic murder mystery plot, very suspenseful.
Thought I’d figured out the killer but wasn’t quite right, which was nice, meant the book wasn’t as predictable as I thought.
Really enjoyed the dynamic of the three Dahlias and how they all helped each other in different ways.
I liked the ending but also the epilogue giving a hint to the next book in the series.

3.5 stars. This was fun reading. At times having three main characters seemed unwieldy; however, it worked out OK. I look forward to the next book.

Platsen är Aldermere, en engelsk herrgård där ett event ska hållas för fans av Lettice Davenport, en fiktiv deckarförfattare som skrivit böckerna om Dahlia Lively. Det kommer att bli ett murder mystery game, och bland vip-gästerna finns skådespelarna som spelat Dahlia på film och tv, tillsammans med filmteamet för den nya Dahliafilmen. De tre skådespelarna är inte superförtjusta i varandra, men när ett verkligt mord sker slår de sina Dahlia-huvuden ihop och börjar undersöka.

På plussidan finns det lättsamma mysteriet och att det är roligt att följa hur de tre skådespelarna kommer närmare varandra.
På minussidan är att den är lite långsam och upprepande. Lagom sommarläsning!

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I may continue the series casually. I'd definitely recommend it to people who like the genre. It's not one I read super often. This felt like a classic crime book and I felt like it did it well. I think I suspected who did it in the end but I wasn't 100% sure. Overall I'd say it was a fun cosy read.
