Lady Minerva und der Duke

The mystery subplot added an intriguing layer to the story, but I wonder if that was always the plan or developed during writing. Did it shape the romance in any way?

The depiction of wealth, status, and societal expectations really stood out to me. Were these based on historical research or personal experiences?

The details of the time period felt immersive, and I'd love to know what drew the author to this particular historical moment.
