The Cyclist

The cycling theme adds a unique flavor to the crime story, but I'm curious whether that setting was a personal passion of the author or a deliberate choice to symbolize something deeper.

The story builds suspense but then dips into more detailed detective work — was that meant to give readers a breather or to deepen character development?

The gradual uncovering of secrets kept me guessing, but I wonder if it was planned from the start or evolved during writing to maximize tension.
