The Deep Blue Goodbye/Nightmare in Pink

The dark atmosphere really immerses the reader in the world of crime and moral complexity. I wonder what inspired the author to develop this specific tone and style.

The questions of right and wrong really add weight to the investigation. I'm curious if readers found themselves questioning the characters' choices as I did.

The location and time period seem to add a unique flavor to the plot. I wonder if the setting was based on real places or if it was crafted to evoke a certain atmosphere.
