It’s good fun, if all a little unlikely, as the siblings and partners lie and cover-up whilst also suspecting each other of potentially being the murderer. There are plenty of twists and it’s practically impossible to guess whodunnit as all seem to have both the motive and the means.
A pretty decent and undemanding mystery that kept me guessing and – just about – held my interest throughout.

Rich Mum and Dad are murdered after Dad taunts his adult children about removing them from his will. All the characters are unlikable, and for a murder investigation, the stakes felt really low. It just didn't matter which one of the suspects had done it. The meandering story creates aimless confusion, seemingly to lead towards the big reveal, but instead it leads to an anticlimactic ending.
