Der stille Schüler

The setting feels so vivid and integral to the story. I'm curious if it was based on a real place or a fictional creation that evolved during writing.

The detective's choices often blurred the lines between right and wrong, making me wonder how much of that reflects real-life policing or moral struggles.

The pacing and reveals kept me guessing, and I'm interested in whether the narrative structure was planned from the start or developed during the writing process.
