Presumption of Death

The legal details were so well-researched and tense that I could almost hear the objections. Did these scenes make the story more believable or did they slow down the pacing for others?

It felt like the characters’ pasts were just as much a mystery as the case itself. Did the author mean for the family history to mirror the legal drama, or was that a happy accident?

Balancing courtroom drama with emotional stakes was compelling but complex. I'm curious how the author decided to weave these two elements together.
