Quand le roi meurt: Un polar scandinave haletant au coeur de la Finlande et de sa mythologie

The cultural backdrop adds depth to the mystery but I'm curious whether the author drew from real events or crafted a fictional world.

The story really picked up again toward the end, but I wondered if the slower sections were a deliberate choice to deepen character development.

The emotional layers made the story more impactful, and I’m interested in how this balance was achieved during writing.
