Lowndes's portrayal of paranoia and social tension feels so immersive. I wonder what drew her to this particular case and how much is based on real events.

The suspense kept me on edge, but I also appreciated the slow unveiling of characters' inner fears. Was this pacing effective for others?

The atmospheric details really made the story come alive. I’m curious whether the historical context was a major focus during writing or just naturally infused.
