About
"Procedural mystery grounded in real forensic science"
Traces follows a young trainee at a Dundee forensic science lab whose new job starts turning up eerie parallels to her mother's unsolved death decades earlier. It's a measured, character-driven crime drama that leans on real forensic procedure rather than flashy twists, mixing lab-bench detail with family secrets and small-town tension. The pace is deliberate, prioritizing mood and relationships over shock reveals, and the ensemble cast carries long stretches of quiet investigation. It rewards patience more than adrenaline, feeling closer to a slow character study than a conventional thriller.
