Les Voisins d'à côté

The shifting viewpoints added layers to the mystery, but I wonder if it was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did this approach make the story more engaging or confusing?

The characters' secrets and betrayals felt so real and raw—made me wonder how much of their pain was inspired by real-life experiences or purely fictional.

The atmosphere really amplifies the suspense, but I’m curious whether the author based it on a real place or created the setting entirely from imagination.
