Les ténèbres à Deception Pass (Un thriller policier Thomas Austin t. 9)

The atmospheric backdrop really adds to the suspense. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it entirely from imagination.

Some decisions felt morally complex, which made me question what I would do in their position. Am I the only one who found myself sympathizing with characters I usually wouldn't?

The story kept me guessing without feeling rushed. I wonder if the pacing was planned from the start or if it evolved during writing.
