Get an exclusive Dahlia Lively Short Story when you pre-order A Very Lively Murder!
One murder mystery movie. Three Dahlias. And a whole cast of suspects…
Ex child star Posy Starling is finally filming her dream role – Dahlia Lively in The Lady Detective movie. But things take a nightmare turn when a prop weapon is replaced with the real thing – with almost fatal consequences for her fellow Dahlia, Rosalind King. There’s something very wrong on the set of The Lady Detective – which means it’s time to call in Caro Hooper, so the three Dahlias can investigate.
In between filming scenes, signing autographs for locals, photoshoots on set and jetting off to France for an impromptu party, the three Dahlias do what they do best – surreptitiously sleuth. And very soon the evidence starts to point towards one particular co-star…
But before they can prove it, a murder rocks the production. And this time, with a storm raging, the river flooded and the bridge washed out, there are no police to rely on so it’s up to the three Dahlias to stop a murderer in their tracks… before another victim is claimed.

Sapphires for Supper – A Dahlia Lively Short Story
The Three Dahlias are together again on the film set for The Lady Detective when a friend stops by with a new discovery – an alternative ending for one of Lettice Davenport’s most iconic Dahlia Lively short stories.
In it, Dahlia and Johnnie are tasked with unmasking a jewel thief at dinner. But can you – or Rosalind, Caro and Posy – figure out who did it this time around? And why did Lettice change the ending anyway…?

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to pre-order through the buttons/from one of the stores above?
Nope! It doesn’t matter where you pre-ordered the book from – or even if you put it on hold at your local library! Just let me know in the ‘I pre-ordered the book from…’ field on the form so I can keep track.
I already pre-ordered AGES ago - can I still get the free story?
Of course! Just let me know where you pre-ordered from on the form so I can keep track.
Does it matter if I pre-ordered the hardback or the ebook?
Nope! Any format is fine by me. You can even pre-order the paperback if you’re willing to wait until next year to get it…
Are there spoilers in the story?
One or two… I’d definitely recommend reading The Three Dahlias first, but you don’t need to wait until you’ve read A Very Lively Murder.
