About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a cozy, lighthearted whodunit with an eccentric sleuth and a manor-house investigation; Not for you if you prefer gritty realism, high suspense, or deeply developed suspects like in Death in Paradise.
Pros: charming lead performance; light mystery fun; lively supporting cast | Cons: low tension overall; clues feel limited; some characters bland
