Everybody Knows

The dark atmosphere really immerses you in the story. I'm curious whether the author drew from real-life crime stories or crafted it purely from imagination.

The twists kept me guessing, but the final reveal felt like it truly paid off. Was this the intended impact or did it surprise even the author during the writing process?

Balancing tension with character development can be tricky in thrillers. I'm interested in how the author approached this balance from the start.
