A Knives Out Mystery - starring Benoit Blanc
Third in the series of Daniel Craig detective vehicles. Set in upstate New York, but definitely an English Village vibe, and new priest is assigned to the small parish. He finds a ultra-controlling, cult-like figure running the church. When he is murdered in a closed room (the impossible crime), Blanc comes in to clear everything up. A fun clashing of Blanc's ultra-rationalism with religious fervor and miracles. As is typical, every key character has motive to be a killer, and sorting out what is known in flashback after setting the scene is the storytelling mechanism. A really good entry into the series. Well done.
4 stars (out of 5)
