The Three Dahlias

Their bond feels authentic and warm, but I wonder what inspired the dynamics and histories between them. Did the author draw from real-life friendships or create them from scratch?

While I loved the character interactions, the mystery itself took a while to unfold. I’m curious whether this was intentional to build atmosphere or if it was a pacing choice.

The sense of place really adds charm to the story. I wonder if the author based it on a particular town or created it entirely from imagination.
