The Wife. Schütze, wen du liebst

The depiction of mental deterioration felt very visceral and real. I'm curious whether this was based on research or personal insight, and how it shaped the story's tension.

The story had me hooked early on, but the middle sections felt a bit slow. I wonder if that was intentional to create a sense of dread or if it could have been tighter.

The confined setting added a layer of claustrophobia and intensity, but I'm curious if the author considered other locations or if this was always the plan.
