Paddlers, Promises & Poison

The town feels so inviting and vivid—I'm curious if the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination. Did the setting influence the story’s tone?

The humor kept the tone light, but I still felt wrapped up in the suspense. How do you think the balance between funny moments and intrigue was achieved?

The pacing of revealing clues kept me guessing but also made me eager to see what was coming next. Was this a deliberate strategy to maintain suspense?
