Set in the 1980s Sri Lanka, this macabre and darkly humorous novel is equal parts murder mystery, ghost story and political satire, brimming with energy, bite and wit.
M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller begins with an intriguing premise, then devolves into utter stupidity. I still had fun with it, even if I was rolling my eyes at how ludicrous it was.
Sri Lanka felt like an unfinished business after I had cancelled my trip a couple of years ago due to the economic crisis. I finally made it in 2025 and had an amazing time.
