Eastern Promises

After a young woman dies in childbirth, a London midwife finds clues in her diary that may connect the newborn to a dangerous Russian mob family. Her effort to uncover the child’s origins draws her and those close to her into a threatening criminal underworld.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy gritty crime dramas, morally complex characters, and slow-building suspense; Not for you if graphic violence, bleak themes, or unresolved-feeling endings put you off.
