About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like compact, old-school mysteries with paranoia, foggy suspense, and a trapped-at-sea setting, especially if Black Angel appeals to you; Not for you if you dislike heightened melodrama or doubting-the-heroine plots.
Pros: tense shipboard mystery; eerie foggy atmosphere; brisk pacing | Cons: melodrama can spike; lead feels one-note; ending feels abrupt
