ロウソクのために一シリングを (ハヤカワ・ポケット・ミステリ)

The narrative feels very personal and intimate, yet also layered with mystery. I wonder if the detective’s viewpoint was a conscious decision from the start or evolved during writing.

There was a moment where I felt the tension dip slightly, but then it picked up again. Curious if the pacing was planned this way or if it reflects the natural flow of the story.

The setting feels so authentic and immersive. I wonder what research or experiences influenced the vivid depiction of the time period.
