The Crime Trade

The world-building felt gritty and authentic, but I wonder how much was based on real events or research. Did the author draw from personal experience or extensive investigation?

The tension escalated rapidly towards the end, which kept me on the edge of my seat. I’m curious if this was planned to mirror the chaos of the plot or a writing choice to increase suspense.

Switching between different viewpoints added layers to the story, but I wonder what led to those specific choices. Did the author plan this structure early on or develop it during writing?
