Crimes, passion et talons aiguilles

The tone felt light and fun despite the serious subject matter. I'm curious how the author decided where humor fits in this mix.

I was hooked but felt like the ending wrapped up quickly. Was this intentional to keep the pace lively or just how it turned out?

The blend of humor and mystery made it stand out for me. Wondering if the setting or tone was inspired by any particular real-life place or genre tropes.
