L’affaire de la place de Hanovre (Les enquêtes du capitaine Lacey t. 1)

The setting feels so authentic and immersive — I’m curious whether the historical research was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The way characters from different classes interacted felt so nuanced. It made me wonder how much of that was based on real social dynamics of the period.

The time period adds such a rich backdrop, but I wonder what led to that particular setting being chosen over others.
