Le club des amateurs de meurtres

The tone balances lighthearted moments with suspense, which isn't always easy. I'm curious how much of that was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The community feels so real and welcoming, but also layered with secrets. Did the depiction of small-town life resonate or feel exaggerated at all?

The characters and setting are so engaging that I wonder if the author envisioned a long-term series from the beginning or if it developed naturally.
