I thought it was a weird moment when the FL was getting flustered about trying to make excuses for why the ML might not be the killer. I know they tried to frame it as a romantic moment but I was just like “maybe because you should be unbiased as a lawyer/detective who is only basing your prime suspect on a STORY BLURB”. If there is a sliver of doubt in your theory, instead of wondering if you caught feelings you should be chasing that up to see if it means anything. She said she was pretty highly renowned, right?
Then again, I guess as a lawyer, you really only need to build a case on one side, right? If she’s decided that her ML is the killer, he’s the killer and she’ll build a case for it.
