Invitation to a Murder review florist-detective leads crime yarn that out-cosies Agatha Christie
Briefly

Set against an old-school backdrop reminiscent of Agatha Christie, the murder mystery fails to deliver originality, leaning heavily on clichéd tropes and predictable characters.
Miranda Green, a florist and avid Christie reader, embarks on a journey filled with diverse characters, mysterious invitations, and ultimately falls into a lackluster plotline that offers little suspense.
While initially intrigued by the concept, the narrative disappoints with uninspiring character development and an over-reliance on well-worn murder mystery clichés, steering clear of true engagement.
Despite some potential for cleverness, the film ultimately misses opportunities for creativity, notably ignoring the protagonist's occupation as a florist to develop unique plot elements.
