Friends of Miles receive a puzzle box that deliver an invitation to each one of them to a murder mystery game that he is hosting at his mansion, on his private island in Greece. 

When all the guests arrive, Miles is a bit confused as he did not sent any invitation to Benoit Blanc, a famous investigator. He allows him to stay, assuming that one his guests also send an invite to Benoit as a joke. 

It can be seen from the start that Cassandra or Andi is pissed off with everyone on the list. 

Before dinner, Miles shows off the Mona Lisa that was on loan to him, and he reveals that the whole island is powered by 'Klear', a hydrogen based alternative fuel that his company is launching in a week. Lionel and Claire expresses their concerns about safety of the fuel, to which Miles pays no mind to.

Benoit manages to solve the mystery game even before it starts, which makes Miles angry that the game has ended even before it starts. Suddenly, Duke collapses after drinking from Miles' glass and the entire room realises that Duke's gun is missing. Andi is the suspect of killing Duke as she storms off of the room right before Duke collapses. 

The power goes out. Andi is shot while talking to Benoit. Is that the end of the game?

Nope. 

In reality, Andi is not the real Andi but she is Helen, Cassandra's twin who has engaged Benoit to find the real killer of her sister. Helen believes that Andi was killed as she was about to share a secret about one of the group members and she is determined to find out the killer.

Benoit agrees to help her, but she has to be Andi and attend the game party at Miles'. 

And it turns out that the whole mystery is about the originality of an idea scribbled on a napkin.

Why was Andi killed and can Helen and Benoit uncover the truth?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 I saw through the plot right from the beginning - I know who did it. But I stayed as I want to know why they killed Andi.
