Suddenly a Murder: Mord auf Ashwood Manor

The setting's calm, almost idyllic atmosphere contrasted sharply with the dark secrets uncovered. Did this contrast heighten the suspense for anyone else?

The familiar setting made the mystery feel more personal, but I'm curious whether the author drew from real places or crafted it entirely from imagination.

I enjoy trying to piece things together, but sometimes I felt a bit too confident about guesses — was that intentional or just luck?
