Il prezzo della vergogna

The characters often operate in shades of gray, which feels very real. I'm curious what inspired the author to explore such moral ambiguity in this story.

Some parts felt a bit slow, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to deepen the suspense or develop characters more fully.

The atmospheric detail really brought the story to life. I'd love to know whether Burke based this on real places or built it entirely from imagination.
