Der Totenmacher

His detailed descriptions and pacing really pull readers into the dark world of crime. I'm curious about the techniques he uses to keep that tension so consistent throughout the book.

The characters often walk a fine line between right and wrong, which made me wonder how much of that was intentional to reflect real moral complexity.

The gritty, atmospheric backdrop feels very authentic. I'm interested in whether Stuart MacBride drew from real locations or crafted a completely fictional world.
