Le Garçon de l'ombre (Pocket Book)

The story's emotional depth feels deeply rooted in the characters' pasts. I wonder what inspired the choice to explore such dark themes through a crime story.

Some chapters felt contemplative rather than action-packed, which made me think about how pacing influences tension in mysteries like this.

The bleak, cold atmosphere really set the tone. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or research to craft this environment.
