La Carte du pendu (Pocket Book)

The plot's twists feel meticulously crafted — I wonder what inspired the specific mystery structure and how he envisioned the clues unfolding.

The tension was so palpable in those moments, making me question how much of the villain’s psychology was based on real criminal profiles.

It added a unique layer to the mystery, but I’m curious whether this theme was planned from the start or developed as the story evolved.
