The Midnight Bell

The shifting viewpoints added layers of suspense, but I wonder if it was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did it influence how the plot unfolded?

The characters all seemed to operate in shades of gray, which kept me guessing. Were there any characters the author intentionally kept morally complex?

The atmospheric descriptions really drew me in, but I’m curious whether the world-building was inspired by actual places or an entirely imagined backdrop.
