The city feels like a character itself—how much did the author's familiarity with Boston shape the narrative and atmosphere?

It added depth to the mystery, but I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice to explore themes of redemption and justice.

The story seemed to take a breather before the climax; I'm wondering if this was meant to build tension or develop the characters further.
