Cold as the Grave

The descriptions really brought the Scottish landscape to life, making the mystery feel even more intense. How much do you think the setting influences the story's mood?

I found myself wanting more action during that part, but maybe it was meant to deepen the character development. What do others think about how the pacing affected their engagement?

The characters felt so real and layered, yet the plot kept me guessing. I wonder what influenced the choice to focus on character development alongside the mystery.
