About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want thoughtful, puzzle-heavy British mysteries with a cultured, grumpy lead and a strong partner dynamic, similar to Endeavour or Inspector Lewis; Not for you if you prefer fast action, simple cases, or instantly likable heroes.

Pros: smart, twisty mysteries; Oxford atmosphere; strong lead partnership | Cons: slow pace; convoluted plots; lead can be off-putting
