Le passé doit mourir

The city’s atmosphere adds so much to the mood—I'm curious how much of the setting was drawn from real locations or fictionalized for the story.

The plot seemed to take a breather before ramping up again — I wonder if that was to build suspense or develop characters more deeply.

The way the story unfolded kept me guessing, but I’m curious about whether the clues were planned from the start or adapted during writing.
