Die einsame Bucht

The isolated lakeside backdrop adds a layer of tension and mystery. I'm curious if the setting was based on a real place or invented for the story.

The story was so intense at the start and end, but the middle felt a bit more deliberate. Was that intentional to build suspense?

Some details came early, others later, which kept me guessing. I wonder if this was planned or developed during writing to maximize suspense.
