A Noise Downstairs

The book delves deeply into the mind of someone haunted by their past. I'm curious whether this theme was rooted in personal experience or a desire to explore the human psyche.

The story had me on the edge at first, but I felt the middle was a bit slower. Was this intentional to deepen character development or to build atmosphere?

The tension shifts and reveal placements felt very deliberate. I'm curious if the non-linear approach was a conscious choice from the beginning.
