A Scandal in Scarlet

The community feels so alive and integral to the story. I'm curious whether the setting was based on a real place or entirely fictional, and how much thought went into making it feel authentic.

The moral dilemmas faced by the characters added depth, but I was also uneasy about how much people are willing to hide for the sake of harmony. What were your thoughts on this balance?

The pacing kept me hooked but also relaxed—it's a different rhythm from typical thrillers. I wonder if this was a conscious choice to maintain the cozy vibe or just how the story evolved.
