If you're looking for a bedtime story about a bird, keep moving. This is a whiskey-soaked mystery for parents who want a gritty, atmospheric escape after the kids are in bed.
It’s got a solid 'True Detective' energy but set in a 1960s Pennsylvania resort. The writing is evocative and the setting is the real star here, capturing that weird, transient energy of a summer destination. It’s not 'fun'—it’s a 'bum stew' of tragedy and mystery—but it’s a compelling choice for fans of historical noir who don't mind a protagonist who is falling apart at the seams.
