In der Defensive (Die Ryan-Kaine-Reihe)

The characters' conflicting motives kept me second-guessing everything. I'm curious what inspired their layered personalities.

The story kept me on the edge, but I wondered if the rapid pace was planned to heighten tension or if it made certain parts harder to follow.

The narrative jumps and reveals felt carefully crafted. I wonder if this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
