The Empty Chair

The story moves at a breakneck speed, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice to mirror the tension or just a natural flow. Did anyone else feel the pacing heightened the stakes?

The characters often blur the lines between right and wrong, which made me question how much of their actions are justified. How did others interpret their morality?

The detailed descriptions of the city and police procedures felt very authentic. I'm curious whether the author drew from real places or crafted a fictional environment for the story.
