Assassinio ad Astor Place (Classico # 1101)

The setting feels so vivid and authentic, but I wonder what inspired the balance between historical accuracy and lighthearted mystery elements.

The story was engaging overall, but I noticed a few chapters where it felt like the mystery took a backseat. Was that intentional to build suspense?

Their partnership adds a unique dynamic, but I’m curious if this was based on historical figures or an entirely fictional creation.
