La villa rouge

The story moves quickly with lots of twists, but I wonder if the pacing was planned from the start or developed during writing. Did that approach help maintain tension?

There were moments when I questioned whether some characters' actions made sense, especially in the heat of the moment. Was this intentional to keep readers guessing or a missed opportunity for depth?

The house itself feels like a character—full of secrets and darkness. I'm curious whether the author envisioned a specific real-world location or created it entirely from imagination.
