少女が消えた小道 (ハヤカワ・ポケット・ミステリ)

The small-town backdrop felt almost like a character itself, adding layers to the mystery. I'm curious how much the location shaped the narrative choices.

The plot took some time to pick up again, which made me wonder if the slow moments were meant to build tension or develop characters more deeply.

Their motivations felt nuanced and realistic, which added depth to the mystery. I’d love to hear what inspired their development.
