Die Vermissten

The shifting viewpoints added depth and tension, but I wonder if it was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing. Did it help in building suspense?

The depiction of trauma felt very real, making me wonder how much of their journey was inspired by true cases or research. What made these characters resonate so deeply?

The sense of place really heightened the suspense, and I'm curious whether real locations or fictional ones shaped the mood of the novel.
