Listen I am a simple woman. You give me a sad man who is so unbelievably in love with a woman and I will fold every time.
That said, don’t go into this expecting a romance. It’s a mystery through and through.
It did start off really slow, but picked up eventually.
The mystery was done well. I managed to guess the killer but in a way that made me feel accomplished for figuring it out. Not in a “oh this was so predictable” kinda way.
Handles delicate situations like death, social injustice, and the ramifications of war (including but not limited to PTSD) with grace.
This implication that Damian is on the aroace spectrum (Demi) was so nice to see!
Very good! I enjoyed it!
