She is also deeply human, struggling with her own fears and doubts as she navigates the dangerous world of criminal investigation. The supporting cast of characters is equally well-drawn, from the enigmatic and charismatic art dealer to the tough and resourceful police detective who becomes Lydia's ally. "Winter and Night" is a masterful blend of mystery, suspense, and character-driven drama.
