煙突掃除の少年 (ハヤカワ・ポケット・ミステリ)

The historical backdrop feels so vivid and atmospheric. I wonder if the author drew from personal research or imagination to create this world.

The character's decisions felt complex and sometimes uncomfortable, making me question what I would do in their place. Am I the only one who felt this way?

The slow unraveling of secrets kept me hooked, but I wonder if this subtle tension is something the author intentionally focused on or just a result of the writing style.
