Die 5. Plage

The pacing felt relentless in the best way, but I wonder if the order of clues was carefully planned or evolved during writing. Did the structure influence how suspense built up?

Some characters felt like they had hidden depths, but others seemed to serve the plot more than their own arcs. What do others think about character development in this book?

The vivid descriptions made the city feel alive, but I’m curious whether the author drew from actual places or crafted it entirely from imagination.
