La mémoire fantôme

The way the protagonist's memories unravel is intense and thought-provoking. I wonder what the author drew upon to craft such a visceral depiction of psychological trauma.

The detailed investigation scenes added depth, but some moments felt like they dragged. Was this a deliberate choice to build suspense or to deepen character development?

The French backdrop gives the novel a unique flavor, but I'm curious whether the setting was chosen for its cultural significance or for the mood it evokes.
