About
You might like this if you’re drawn to internet-age true crime and unsettling mystery stories like Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, but Not for you if dragged-out pacing and heavy focus on online speculation will annoy you.
Pros: intriguing real case; eerie hotel backdrop; some factual context | Cons: too much speculation; slow, stretched pacing; frustrating web sleuth focus
