笑う未亡人 (ハヤカワ・ミステリ文庫 ハ 1-42 スペンサー・シリーズ)

The character's grief feels so raw and authentic. I'm curious if that was based on real cases or purely fictional choices.

The slow moments made the suspense more intense later on. I'm wondering if that was a deliberate pacing decision or just how the story evolved.

The atmosphere adds so much to the mood — I wonder if the author has a personal connection to such places or if it was purely fictional.
