Mort d'un étranger

The detailed descriptions made the era come alive, but I also felt the social constraints were quite oppressive. How did others perceive the depiction of class and gender roles?

The setting adds so much depth and tension to the mystery. I'm curious whether real historical events or figures influenced the story's backdrop.

I appreciated the slow burn, but sometimes I wondered if it slowed down the story too much. Did others feel the same or find it immersive?
