An absolute masterpiece, they should stick this in some sort of series of masterpieces of crime...
...oh yeah - "Crime Masterworks" - they did it already.
So not surprisingly this was a brilliant work. It was deeply dark in a elegantly sinister way that not so much stabs you in the back but convinces you that you need to stab yourself in the back. The perpetrator leaves no evidence and does nothing criminal but drives their victims to destruction in such a way as to make the evil undeniable.
The range of characters and relationships is rich, varied, imaginative and real; pulling the character's fears into our own with its authenticity. We ask ourselves what would we do in that situation and the answer, like the rest of the story is dark.
The plot was just as organic and delicate as the characters it involved, seeming at times episodic but never detaching from the central investigation. But this is a story that gets into your heart rather than your head and focuses on the why rather than the how.
And as for the finale, the final reveal... EPIC! I was left satisfied and empty at the same time, knowing I would not have another ending as good for a while.
