What starts as a familiar setup - the classic femme fatale and her wealthy, deceased husband - soon unfolds into a layered allegory about the many ways we pursue the truth. It brought to mind Billy Wilder’s Ace in the Hole in its sharp exploration of journalistic ethics and the murky line between uncovering the truth and shaping it. And all presented in prose that is both spare and stylish. By the end, we’re left with a lingering sense of unease, reminded of how easily we can be nudged towards one version of the truth or another.
