Katy Watson writes the Dahlia Lively mystery series, which has a clever premise: three actresses who have each played the same fictional detective at different points in their careers team up to solve real crimes. The series started in 2022 with The Three Dahlias and has grown to six books.
The books are cozy British mysteries with a good sense of humor about the mystery genre itself. Watson clearly knows her Agatha Christie and has fun playing with detective fiction conventions while still delivering satisfying whodunits.
