In der Stunde deines Todes

Clark's use of small-town New England as a backdrop felt so vivid and claustrophobic. I'm curious what inspired her choice of setting to heighten the tension.

The story builds up nicely, but I found some sections dragged. Do others think this was intentional to develop characters, or a pacing issue?

Clark's reveals felt carefully timed. I'm wondering what writing tricks she used to keep readers guessing without confusion.
