ウルフ・ムーンの夜 (ハヤカワ・ミステリ文庫)

The cold and bleak environment seemed to mirror the characters' emotional struggles. Did the setting shape the story's tension from the start?

The story took a bit of a detour before picking up again—was that intentional to build character or mood?

The moral grey areas added complexity, but I wondered if the author intended to challenge the reader's judgment throughout.
