Dernier tramway pour les champs elysées

The Southern backdrop adds layers of atmosphere and complexity to the characters' moral struggles. I'm curious how much the location shaped the story's mood.

The characters seem to operate in shades of gray rather than clear-cut good or bad. Did that make the story more compelling or harder to follow?

The detective's personal journey felt very layered and authentic. I wonder what motivated the author to focus on redemption in this way.
