Kind of felt overkill since i was hoping for a whole different story. thankfully, by the half-way point, i was hooked. Love the way things get so obviously weird you forget to actually question some of them because "there's no way any of that leads to something!" fully fell into the wrong lead this time around. the mystery made sense but rouletabille being so evasive towards Synclair highkey pissed me off in this one... guess it was on purpose though so i'll forgive him. kinda glad it's over though, so we can finally move on ((Lady Stangerson isn’t much fun)).
