Bis aufs Blut

The dark tone really drew me in, but I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by specific real-world locations or personal experiences.

The detective's dilemmas felt very real and made me question what I would do in similar situations. Am I the only one who felt conflicted about their decisions?

The story kept me guessing, but I wonder if the pacing choices were planned to build suspense or evolved during the writing process.
