Betrayed in the Keys

The vivid descriptions made me feel like I was there, but I wonder if the location was chosen for its history or atmosphere. Did the setting influence the story's tone or plot twists?

The character's paranoia and betrayal made the story tense, but I kept questioning whether trust or suspicion was more justified. Did others find themselves questioning what was real?

The slower sections gave depth to the characters, but I wondered if it was a deliberate choice to build suspense or if it affected the overall momentum.
