Sex, Murder and a Double Latte

The book manages to be funny without undermining the seriousness of the crime. I'm curious if this tonal balance was intentional from the start or developed during writing.

The cozy setting makes the mystery feel approachable, but I wondered if the comfort ever clashed with the darker themes. What do others think about the setting's impact on the story?

It’s such a relatable backdrop that makes the story feel grounded. I’d love to know if this setting was inspired by personal experience or a desire to create a specific vibe.
