Das Messer Im Schatten

Sandford's portrayal of the antagonist felt disturbingly real. I wonder what inspired the depth of this character's psychology and how much research went into that.

It seemed like the story took a brief breather before ramping up again. I'm curious if this was a deliberate choice to build tension or just natural flow.

The city felt almost like a character itself, with its dark alleys and cold atmosphere. I’d love to know if the author has personal ties to it or if it was chosen for its mood.
