Snobbery with Violence

The tone feels light despite the murder plot, which makes the story uniquely charming. I'm curious what inspired this balance between wit and tension.

The snobbery and societal expectations drive a lot of the plot, but I wonder if that's reflected in the characters' real lives or exaggerated for the story.

The setting feels so immersive and authentic. I'm curious whether the historical background was based on real events or more of a creative choice.
