Bedlam

The tone shifts between comedic and suspenseful moments, which can be tricky to balance. I'm curious how Brookmyre achieved this seamless mix and whether it was planned from the start.

The fantasy aspects made the world feel more unpredictable and bizarre. I'm wondering if others saw this as a way to reflect the characters' mental states or just for fun.

The gritty, chaotic environment really immerses the reader. I'd love to know if the setting was inspired by a particular city or a conceptual space for madness.
