Child 44

In Stalin-era Soviet Union, a disgraced security agent is sent away after challenging the official version of a child’s death. When similar cases emerge, he pursues a dangerous investigation while facing political pressure, personal distrust, and a system determined to deny that such crimes can exist.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like bleak historical crime dramas such as The Frozen Ground, but Not for you if you want a tightly focused mystery with fast pacing and consistently clear plotting.
