Sur la corde (Pocket Book)

The balance between lightheartedness and suspense is delicate, and I wonder what inspired the tone for Twanged—was it a conscious choice or evolved during writing?

The community dynamics and local color made the story feel cozy but also kept the mystery engaging. How much of the setting was based on real places or just a creative construct?

The characters felt authentic and relatable, but I’m curious whether they were inspired by real people or entirely from the author's imagination.
