Smuggler's Cove

The plot kept shifting between different characters and secrets, which added layers of suspense. I'm curious whether this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The story had some slow moments before picking up again, but I wonder if that was intentional to build tension or just a natural part of the storytelling.

The coastal town felt so vivid and alive, making me wonder if real locations inspired the scenery or if it was purely fictional world-building.
