New Corpse In Town

The town feels so alive and detailed—I'm curious if that was planned from the start or developed as the story grew. It really added charm!

The story seemed to take a breather, which was nice, but I wondered if that was intentional to build atmosphere or just where the plot naturally paused.

I'm fascinated by how authors come up with compelling crimes—whether from personal experience, news, or pure imagination. Would love to hear the backstory.
