Das Mädchen im Dunkeln

The shifting viewpoints added layers of tension, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or came about during revisions. Did it help build suspense or make the story harder to follow?

There was a lot of backstory and character development, which made the plot deepen, but I found myself wondering if that was necessary for the overall tension.

The atmosphere felt so authentic and claustrophobic, making the story even more gripping. I'm curious if the setting was based on a real location or purely fictional.
