L'île du Dr Mallo

The book seamlessly blends comedy with a suspenseful plot. I'm curious how Fry decided when to lean into humor and when to heighten the mystery.

The witty tone contrasted with the serious themes, which made some moments hit harder. Has that contrast affected how others perceived the story?

Fry’s choice of setting and character backgrounds added depth. I wonder what influenced these details and if they’re drawn from real experiences or purely fictional.
