Hiding in Plain Sight

The slow reveal kept me guessing and added layers to the mystery. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The story took some time to pick up again, but it also gave room for character development. What do others think about how that affected the suspense?

The atmosphere felt so immersive, I wondered if the setting was inspired by a specific location or purely fictional. Would love to hear about the creative process behind it.
