You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, clue-driven whodunit in a tight-knit community, similar to Deadwind or Public Enemy; Not for you if you want light tone, brisk pacing, or a straightforward procedural.

Pros: moody small-town mystery; strong performances; twisty suspect list | Cons: uneven suspense; clichéd character beats; pacing can drag
