Death of a Snob

The way the book pokes fun at snobbery and social pretensions was both amusing and a little uncomfortable. Did that tone work for others or feel out of place in a cozy setting?

The story had a light tone but still kept me guessing. I wonder if that was a conscious choice to keep it fun without losing the intrigue?

The small-town atmosphere felt so authentic, almost like a character itself. Did the author draw from real places or personal experiences for the setting?
