Invitation to a Murder (released as An Invitation to Murder in the UK) is a 2023 American murder mystery film directed by Stephen Shimek and starring Mischa Barton, Chris Browning, Bianca A. Santos, and Giles Matthey. It was released by Lionsgate on April 25, 2023.

Plot

Miranda Green is a florist with a passion for mystery novels, particularly those by Agatha Christie. The arrival of a mysterious invitation from Lord Findley to visit his mansion on a reclusive island immediately catches her attention. On the train, Miranda makes the acquaintance of five other guests — Donald Walker, an American journalist; Lawrence Kane, Esq.; Dr. Phillip Armstrong; Carmen Blanco, and Lu Wang.

Welcoming the guests are the three members of Lord Findley's staff, who is apparently stranded due to bad weather and will only join them by plane the next day. As the hours go by, the guests become increasingly tense because of the unusual situation they find themselves in. Not only they do not know each other, but they have never even heard of Lord Findley, nor do they know the reason why they were invited to the island. Moreover, the servants are particularly hostile. The tension reaches a peak when Larry Kane is found dead, and his body disappears from the lounge. It is up to Miranda Green to solve the puzzle as well as the crime; there is a murderer in their midst.
