The Dance of the Seagull

The setting feels so vivid and integral to the story. I'm curious if the cultural details were based on personal experience or extensive research.

Some chapters felt more reflective than action-packed, which made me think about how that impacts suspense. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

The personal conflicts added depth to the story, but I'm wondering if that was influenced by the author's own experiences or a narrative choice to humanize the detective.
