Celui qui n'était pas un meurtrier

The narrative shifts kept me guessing, but I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed during writing. Did it enhance the suspense?

The bleak setting and tone really immersed me in the story, but I wonder if it also made some scenes harder to read. How did others experience the mood?

The exploration of hidden pasts adds layers to the story, but I'm curious whether real events or personal experiences influenced this theme.
