Laberintos de la noche (Detective William Monk 21)

The atmosphere and historical details really brought the era to life. I wonder if the author has a personal connection to this period or did extensive research.

While I enjoyed the character development, those parts felt a bit slow compared to the suspenseful moments. Was that intentional to build atmosphere or a pacing choice?

Balancing intimate mystery with historical context is tricky, and I’m curious about what motivated those narrative choices.
