Death at the Tavern

The tavern feels like a character itself, full of life and history. I'm curious if the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination.

The rich descriptions added depth but made me wonder if the pace was intentional to immerse readers in the era or if it could be tighter.

I loved the cozy vibe but also wanted more suspense. Was it a deliberate choice to prioritize community over high-stakes drama?
