A Deadly Night at the Theatre

di Katy Watson (Autore)

Constable, 2025

Murder is waiting in the wings... Posy and Caro are both back treading the boards in London's theatre district, starring in two very different plays. Rosalind has returned to the city to catch their opening weeks, but she can't help but notice some tensions between the other two Dahlias - perhaps around Caro's new friendship with her co-star, Luke Burrows, who seems to have a history with Posy that the youngest Dahlia's not keen to talk about. But before Rosalind can get to the bottom of what's going on with the others, Luke is found dead. Worse, his body is found in Posy's dressing room - with Posy standing over it, her hands covered in his blood. The theatre world is in uproar, but the cast of the two plays have closed ranks. Posy needs her fellow Dahlias to prove her innocence - but first she has to convince them that she didn't do it... The play's the thing... but when all their suspects are actors, how can the Dahlias tell what's real, and what's just theatre? Praise for Katy Watson 'A truly entertaining crime novel in the Three Dahlias series, very much in the Agatha Christie tradition, and I hope this series will continue' Shots Magazine *'*Will please those who liked the opening book' The Critic 'Fiendeshly clever' Bucks Herald 'An absolute treat of a read with all the ingredients of a vintage murder mystery: a country house, mysterious dead bodies and three actresses all keen to catch the killer. Perfect weekend reading!' Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal 'Celebrates and gently satirises Golden Age crime novels in a hugely entertaining country house mystery' The Times 'Dame Agatha would approve' Daily Mail 'A wonderful celebration of Golden Age crime. . . a read you can sink into, just like the perfect country house weekend. You will definitely love Dahlia in all her guises by the end' S.J. Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot 'I loved it - witty, engaging and hugely enjoyable. A must for fans of classic mysteries' Frances Brody 'An affectionate homage to the Golden Age of Detective Fiction and a wry nod to our continuing fascination with it. Great fun. Warm, ingenious and. . . lively!' L C Tyler 'A sprightly offering. . . a pleasant summer read' The Critic 'A pleasure to read from beginning to end' Shots 'A fun, 1930s style murder-mystery, which makes for perfect holiday reading' Woman's Weekly 'Perfect Holiday Read' Woman and Home 'Smartly executed with wit and a cunning plot' Peterborough Telegraph 'A cosy whodunnit told with modern flair' Yours
