El lado oscuro

I’m curious whether the setting was chosen for its unique legal landscape or if it was more about creating a specific atmosphere that Denmark provides in crime fiction.

The story seemed to take a breath before ramping up again. Wondering if the author planned it this way to deepen character development or mood.

The characters’ decisions felt layered and realistic, but I wonder if that was based on personal observations or a deliberate choice to challenge readers’ perceptions of justice.
