Bent Road - Prix du Masque étranger

The setting feels so immersive and almost like a character itself. I wonder what inspired her to choose this particular community for the story.

It gave me time to reflect on the characters' motives, but I’m curious if the pacing was a deliberate choice to build suspense or just how the plot evolved.

The characters felt so real and flawed — I’d love to know how Lori Roy approached developing their backstories and motivations.
