Blood Woods - 2022 - 6/10
AKA - Blutholz
The company man is attacked by bears and dogs.
Hold on! Those are men in bear suits who release the attack shepherds.
The logging company hires a lawyer and aging troubleshooter to investigate.
Set in Brasov, Romania, this mystery has an excellent sense of place (I have been there).
It also explores the underlying tensions with the Roma, as well as political corruption.
Not a “romance” mystery, but a foray into murky history.
Good choice for fans of Noir.
