La signora scompare

The confined space of the train creates such a claustrophobic atmosphere. I'm curious whether the setting was chosen for its symbolism or because it was practical for the story.

The shifting trust kept me guessing, but I wondered if the characters' quick suspicion was realistic or heightened for tension.

White's experience with crime stories seems to add a layer of authenticity. I wonder what personal insights she brought into building the story's tension.
