L'épouse et la veuve

The twists were so well-hidden that I kept changing my theory. Did the author intentionally mislead readers or was it just good storytelling?

Switching between characters added layers of mystery, but I wonder if it also made it harder to keep track of the truth. Was this a deliberate stylistic decision?

The mood felt so tense and immersive — I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or crafted it entirely from imagination.
