About
If you like offbeat, dark European crime stories with dry humor and obsession at the center, this could work for you, especially if One Deadly Summer appeals; Not for you if you want a tight, realistic thriller.
Pros: darkly funny tone; compelling central duo; haunting atmosphere | Cons: slow second half; thin plausibility; repetitive plotting
