Abgrundtief (C wie Callahan) / C is for Corpse (Kinsey Millhone Mystery)

The detailed backdrop adds so much flavor to the story, but I wonder if the author based it on real places or created an idealized version.

Her independence and vulnerabilities made her more relatable, but I’m curious if the author intended her personal life to mirror the darker themes of the mystery.

The 'A is for...' format is so clever and memorable. I wonder if that was a strategic choice or evolved naturally during the series development.
