El Juez

Their eccentricities add humor and depth, making the crime feel rooted in real life. I wonder if Leonard drew from real communities or crafted them from imagination.

The mix of comedy and crime kept me engaged, but I’m curious if others found the humor softened the tension or made it more intense.

The small-town vibe seems to shape the plot and the moral ambiguities. I’d love to hear whether the setting was inspired by a particular place or just a fictional backdrop.
