Wovon du nichts ahnst

The antagonist's mind games add layers of tension, but I wonder what inspired the author to make them so unpredictable and nuanced.

I loved the buildup, but the story seemed to pause before the final act. Was that intentional to build suspense or just my reading experience?

The characters' fears felt so genuine — what do you think led to the decision to focus so heavily on psychological realism?
