About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sunlit coming-of-age mystery with mounting tension, moral choices, and a child’s-eye view of adult wrongdoing; Not for you if you dislike slow burns or bleak themes like Maria Full of Grace.

Pros: tense mystery builds slowly; strong child perspective; striking countryside atmosphere | Cons: slow pace at times; some simple characters; ending may feel predictable
