Short review: Yeah....nah.

So this is touted as an Agatha Christie tribute mixed in with Crazy Rich Asians and White Lotus (which I ahd to look up). I do see lashings of each. However, the end result is not as palatable as it should be. Firstly, it took way to long to set up the scene and get to the first murder. Secondly, I didn't enjoy that emphasis on wealth. Christie does a much better job of it so that it is there but not obtrusive or obnoxious, which is was both here. Also she always gives fair play to the characters who are not wealthy. Thirdly, the spiritual and supernatural aspect was just plain weird. A sentient pendulum dubbed "Pendy" really doesn't do it for me. 

Lastly, this is the second book in a few months where the killing of despicable people is moralised as acceptable. I don't agree and this doesn't sit well with me nor do I condone promoting it.
