Nell Sweeney und die blutrote Wahrheit

The rich setting adds so much atmosphere—I'm curious whether the author drew from real events or created a fictional world to bring the story alive.

While I loved the immersive details, I wondered if that affected the tension. Was this balance intentional to deepen the setting or a personal style?

The internal conflict felt so authentic and complex. I'm interested in what inspired the character's journey and how much was planned versus evolved during writing.
