レイクサイド・ストーリー(ハヤカワ・ミステリー文庫)

The characters often face tough choices that blur the line between right and wrong. I'm curious whether this was based on real cases or a deliberate choice to challenge typical crime tropes.

The story seemed to take a breather before ramping up again. I'm interested whether this was a structural decision or a natural part of the narrative flow.

The city feels like a character itself, shaping the characters' lives and choices. I wonder if the author drew from personal experience or extensive research to create such an authentic backdrop.
