About
You may like this if you want a dark, fact-inspired crime story focused on a killer and the hunt to catch him, especially if titles like Boneyard or Brothers by Blood appeal; Not for you if bleak violence and serial-crime material are a turnoff.
Pros: gritty 1970s atmosphere; tense manhunt setup; true-crime appeal | Cons: very dark subject; grim tone throughout; familiar crime beats
