About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a playful, old-fashioned whodunit with eccentric humor and a cast of suspicious relatives; Not for you if you prefer grim realism or serious stakes like Ten Little Indians.
Pros: light, cozy mystery; lively lead performance; brisk, fun tone | Cons: whodunit feels weaker; comedy can overwhelm; some pacing lulls
