About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, old-school murder mystery with Greek-island atmosphere and steady intrigue; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big surprises, or deeper character work like Sleeping Dogs.
Pros: beautiful Crete scenery; solid acting; easy whodunit vibe | Cons: predictable mystery; heavy exposition; slow, uneven pacing
