Cruel y extraño

The story kept me on the edge of my seat, but I'm curious whether the pacing was planned from the start or evolved during writing. What do you think led to the flow of tension?

The characters often operate in moral grey areas, which made me wonder how much of that was intentional. Did it make the story more compelling or harder to connect with?

The gritty, dark tone really set the mood for the investigation. I'm curious whether the author drew from real locations or crafted a fictional environment to enhance the tension.
