State Fair

The fair's lively atmosphere really adds charm and tension. I'm curious if it was inspired by a specific event or location that the author wanted to showcase.

The sense of community was so vivid — I kept imagining these folks as real people I might cross paths with. How much of the characters are based on real-life acquaintances?

I loved the warm vibe, but sometimes cozies can feel a little predictable. Wondering if this tone was a conscious decision to evoke comfort amid the suspense.
