Nero acqua

The atmosphere of the town feels so immersive—I'm curious whether real places or personal experiences influenced it. Did the author have a specific locale in mind?

The emotional stakes felt really high, especially with the secrets and past traumas. I wonder if that was intentional to heighten suspense or just how the characters naturally interacted.

The pacing kept me hooked, but I was curious how the author approached weaving these genres together without one overshadowing the other.
