The Appeal

The novel's use of emails, texts, and reports kept me engaged and added layers of complexity. I'm curious whether this approach was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The way characters twist facts and hide motives made me wonder if this reflects real-life courtroom tactics. How did the author balance revealing information without giving everything away too soon?

The courtroom setting adds a formal tension, but also a sense of moral ambiguity. I wonder what led the author to focus on this particular stage of justice.
