The Game Is a Footnote

The animals seemed to play such a fun role in solving the case, but I wonder if it might be distracting for some readers. What did others think about their part in the story?

The setting felt lively and authentic, making me curious whether the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination. How does the community shape the story?

The story balanced tension and light moments nicely, but I’m curious if other readers felt it could have moved faster or preferred it this way.
