海馬(かいば)を馴らす (Hayakawa Novels)

The pacing kept me on the edge of my seat, but I wonder how much of that was intentional versus natural storytelling. Did the choice to focus tightly on the detective's thoughts amplify the tension?

The lines between right and wrong seemed blurred, which made the story more realistic but also morally complex. I’d love to hear if others felt uneasy or understood the characters' decisions.

The atmosphere felt so authentic and lived-in, making me curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or crafted a fictional place to serve the story.
