Le Don du mensonge

The city’s atmosphere really comes alive in the story, and I wonder whether Leon drew from personal experience or extensive research.

The detective’s actions sometimes blurred ethical lines, which made me question what I would do in his position. Was that intentional to highlight moral ambiguity?

Their interactions felt layered and nuanced, making the setting almost like a character itself. I’m curious about how much of that was planned versus evolved during writing.
