Das alte Haus am Meer

The book manages to be lighthearted yet tense — I'm curious how she approached weaving these tones together without losing the reader’s engagement.

The way characters' backgrounds influenced their motives felt very authentic. Did these class dynamics feel true to the era for others?

The coastal town feels so vivid and atmospheric — I wonder if Wentworth based it on a real place or created it entirely from her imagination.
