A Catered Murder

The mix of light mystery and emotional family ties kept me hooked, but I'm curious about how much of this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The story took some time to pick up again, but it might be intentional to build character depth. What do others think about the pacing choices here?

The cozy kitchen atmosphere added charm, but I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or local stories to craft this backdrop.
