Inspektor Jury steht im Regen

The setting feels so authentic and layered, making me wonder if her own experiences or research influenced the depiction of British society.

The detective's internal conflicts made the mystery more engaging, but I wonder how much of that was based on real-life detective archetypes.

Every character felt so lived-in and authentic; I’m curious whether Grimes knew these people personally or if it was purely fictional world-building.
