The Ghost of Christmas

The holiday setting adds a layer of tradition and darkness—I'm curious whether the author wanted to contrast cheer with haunting secrets or if there was a personal reason for choosing Christmas.

The ambiguous nature of the 'ghost' kept me guessing about whether it was real or a manifestation of guilt. How did others interpret the ghost's role in the story?

The book delves into complex family dynamics alongside the mystery, which made me wonder about the writing process—how was that balance achieved?
