Mord in der Uckermark

The book had me laughing even in tense moments, which is a rare feat. I'm curious how the tone was managed during darker scenes.

The Uckermark felt almost like a character itself, with its quirks and charm. How much of that was based on real places or just creative world-building?

The setting adds such a unique flavor—I'm wondering what drew the author to Uckermark specifically and how that influenced the plot.
