Le Noël du commissaire Ricciardi

The vivid portrayal of Naples during the holiday season adds so much atmosphere. I wonder what inspired the choice of setting for this crime story.

Ricciardi's ability to see the dead adds a unique layer to the crime-solving, but I was curious whether others found it integral or distracting in this story.

The story balances tension with seasonal charm — was the moderate pace a deliberate choice to reflect the holiday atmosphere or a storytelling style?
