Les Compagnons de la peur (Pocket Book)

The characters feel so real and layered — I wonder what inspired their distinct voices and quirks throughout the series.

The clues were woven into the story in a way that made me feel like I was solving alongside the detectives. Was that intentional or just good writing?

The tension kept me guessing and made the stakes feel personal. I'm curious whether Stout aimed for this or it evolved naturally.
