森の中に埋めた (創元推理文庫)

The forest feels almost like a character itself—did the author have a real location in mind or create it from imagination? I'm curious how the setting influences the story's mood.

While the buildup was intriguing, I found myself wanting more tension to escalate. Was this intentional to build suspense gradually or just my reading experience?

The characters face some tough choices—what do you think motivates their actions, and how does the author make us question notions of right and wrong?
