Sangue sul fiume

The book touches on class and justice in a way that feels very authentic. I wonder what inspired the choice to highlight these themes through the mystery plot.

The story's tension picked up again later, but those middle sections felt more reflective. Was that an intentional choice to build atmosphere or character depth?

The detailed depiction of the era really immerses the reader. I'm curious whether Perry did specific research or drew from personal knowledge to create such an authentic backdrop.
