Troppi suicidi

Dalziel feels like a flawed but deeply human detective. I wonder what inspired the author to craft such a layered personality for him.

The story seemed to take its time revealing clues, which made the eventual payoff feel more satisfying. Would love to hear if others felt the same.

The atmosphere really adds to the mystery, making the town itself feel like a character. Curious whether the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination.
