Mort au premier regard (Fleuve noir)

The pacing kept me hooked, but I'm curious if the suspense was planned to build this way from the start or evolved during writing.

His internal conflicts added depth to the story, but I wonder if others felt the same emotional pull or if it was just me.

The atmosphere felt so vivid and claustrophobic—I'd love to know if the author drew from real surroundings or crafted it entirely from imagination.
