About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like old-school crime stories with methodical investigation, noir mood, and several connected threads, especially if Macao or Experiment in Terror appeal to you; Not for you if you want fast pacing or big surprises.
Pros: tense multi-case mystery; creepy extortion thread; strong L.A. atmosphere | Cons: heavy narration; somewhat dry pacing; too many plot strands
