Murder in Montmartre

The setting feels so alive and authentic, making the murder feel intertwined with the city's soul. I wonder what inspired this specific locale for the mystery.

The story delved into the detective's personal struggles, which added depth but also slowed the momentum at times. Was that a deliberate choice to build character?

The blend of art history and mystery created a rich atmosphere, but I'm curious whether the author has a background in art or history that influenced this decision.
