Death by Candlelight

The contrast between the warm, inviting atmosphere and the crime scene made the story really stand out. I wonder what inspired the choice to blend comfort with suspense.

The small-town vibe made it easy to suspect everyone, but I kept wondering which secret was the most surprising or impactful.

The recurring imagery added a poetic touch, but I'm curious whether it was meant to symbolize hope, darkness, or something else entirely.
