Third entry in the so-called Knives Out series of murder mysteries, this time relocating to a quiet country church and following Benoit Blanc - who doesn't appear until a good 30 minutes or so into the movie - and priest Reverend Jud Duplenticy, who most of the hard-core followers of the flock of fire and brimstone preacher Monsignor Jefferson Wick believe to be responsible for said Monsignor's death, in another locked room mystery.

The film really belongs to Josh O'Connor as the ex-boxer and now priest Duplenticy, ably supported by Daniel Craig's southerner (and atheist) Benoit Blanc. The denouement is maybe dragged out a bit too long, and it does take a while to get going, but at least this shows that faith and logic can coexist.
