The Three Dahlias by Katy Watson
4.0

I bought this book (and pre ordered the next one) at the same time. Based on the recommendations of whatcarly.reads instagram.

The book was a bit of a slow burner. But I've been incredibly blah and lost the reading bug.

The beginning starts with an info of the convention "pamphlet" along with the maps. which, at first glance, really confused me. (It hasn't taken much), but on reflection was rather quite a clever way of introducing the characters.

However, I enjoyed the style of writing. I loved the little snippets of the Dahlia Lively books at the beginning of the chapter. Giving hints to what the next chapter is about.

I had suspected some of what had gone on. Along with the murderer. However, there were quite a few fun surprises along the way.

Like most murder mysteries read, it starts off at a slow leisurely pace and quickens as the plot unfolds.

I really did enjoy it towards the end, and I cannot wait for the sequel.
