The Murder of Sara Barton

The story kept me on the edge of my seat, but I wonder if the pacing was carefully planned or evolved naturally during writing. What techniques did the author use to maintain tension?

The lawyer's decisions felt complex and sometimes questionable, which made me question the line between right and wrong. How did others interpret his actions?

The detailed courtroom scenes and small-town atmosphere felt authentic. I'm curious whether the author drew from real experiences or created it from imagination.
