About
You may enjoy this if you like pulpy legal-crime thrillers with a fame-gone-wrong hook and sunny locations, similar to Striking Distance or Under Suspicion; Not for you if you hate predictable turns, narration-heavy storytelling, or loose plot logic.
Pros: intriguing premise; Key West scenery; occasional suspense | Cons: predictable twists; plot holes; too much narration
