About

You may like this if you want a darker, slower murder mystery with a heavy period atmosphere, especially if you enjoyed The Pale Horse or Grace; Not for you if you want a brisk, traditional, lighter detective story.

Pros: strong period atmosphere; intriguing central mystery; solid supporting performances | Cons: very slow pace; overly grim tone; divisive lead performance
