About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a Hitchcock-style paranoia mystery with romance and a lead who can’t trust anyone; Not for you if you need tight logic, fast pacing, or clear answers like Nighthawks or The Mean Season.
Pros: strong paranoia tension; intriguing mystery setup; memorable New York locations | Cons: confusing plot threads; uneven pacing; shaky character logic
