"A cold case cracked by quiet stubbornness"
A young Scottish detective, underestimated by her colleagues, gets pulled into reopening a decades-old murder case just as a documentary crew starts filming the investigation for a true-crime series. Based on Val McDermid's novels, it moves at a steady, thoughtful pace rather than a frantic one, layering present-day interviews with flashbacks to the original crime. The mood is moody and atmospheric rather than flashy, carried by its lead's dry wit and refusal to be talked down to by senior officers who doubt her.
