Evil Under the Sun

CriticsCritics: 77
AudienceAudience: 7.2

A celebrated detective visits an exclusive island resort to investigate a suspicious diamond and soon finds himself surrounded by wealthy guests with grudges against a glamorous stage star. After she is found strangled, he must examine their seemingly perfect alibis and uncover the truth.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like star-studded, campy whodunits with colorful suspects and a relaxed pace; Not for you if you want constant tension or a tightly grounded mystery like Murder on the Orient Express.
