Die Leiche im Moor (Der DCI Gillard Britischer Krimireihe)

The isolated marshlands really amplified the suspense for me, but I wonder if others felt it made the story more immersive or just slower.

The marsh feels like a character itself—was this inspired by a real place or purely fictional? I’d love to hear about the creative process behind that setting.

The story kept me engaged without feeling rushed, but I wonder if the pacing was planned to mirror the protagonist’s investigation or something else.
