Murders and Metaphors

The mix of genres feels fresh and intriguing, but I wonder what inspired her to combine these two worlds in 'Murders and Metaphors'.

I loved the creative writing, but at times the metaphorical language made the pacing feel a bit slow. Was that intentional or just my reading experience?

The setting really brought the characters to life and added to the cozy vibe. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it entirely from imagination.
