About

If you enjoy moody, investigative crime stories set against a troubled city, this should fit, especially if you liked The Bridge or Deadwind; Not for you if you want light mysteries or fast, action-heavy thrills.

Pros: tense postwar setting; gripping crime cases; strong partnership dynamic | Cons: bleak tone throughout; heavy subject matter; slow-burn pacing
