A Killer Read

The book's setting and characters are so charmingly bookish — I'm curious if this was inspired by the author's own reading passion or a deliberate choice to deepen the story.

The community felt so warm yet everyone seemed to be hiding something. I wonder if this duality was intentional to keep us guessing.

Having a protagonist who works in a bookstore created such a cozy setting, but I wonder if it also influenced how the mystery unfolded.
