Justice is a cyclical, never-ending process.
Very much enjoyed this - quick-paced, fascinating research into the anatomy of the crime, intriguing cast of characters and motivations. It is quite funny when murder mysteries choose to take a "cop good, journalist bad" approach, though - isn't Sidney effectively a knock-off journalist with none of the reporter ethics guiding her? A documentarian is an artist and filmmaker but also a journalist.
