Die Tote auf dem Maskenball

The setting feels so vividly real but also serves the story perfectly. I'm curious whether historical accuracy was a priority from the start or if it evolved during writing.

The LGBTQ+ elements felt authentic and nuanced, which made the story more engaging. Did these relationships influence how the mystery unfolded?

The historical context added depth and tension, but I wonder what prompted the author to choose this era for the story.
