Die Schatten von Pike Place (Ein Thomas Austin Krimi-Thriller 2)

The neighborhood’s unique atmosphere adds so much character—I'm curious how much of it was based on real locations versus imagination.

The story had me hooked at the start but then lost some momentum before ramping up again—was that a deliberate choice to deepen the mystery?

Switching viewpoints added layers to the story, but I wonder if this was planned from the beginning or developed during writing.
