The Drowning Pool

The eerie atmosphere really heightened the suspense for me. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real location or created it entirely from imagination.

I enjoyed the buildup, but the conclusion wrapped up rather swiftly. Was this a deliberate choice to maintain the suspense or just pacing?

Balancing those genres can be tricky, but this book managed to keep me hooked without feeling overwhelming. Wondering what influenced that approach.
