Murder on the Rocks

The tone felt perfectly light but kept the tension rising. I wonder if this balance was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during writing.

The descriptions of the local bar and community events made the town feel so real. I’m curious how much of that was based on real places or pure imagination.

It added a fun layer to the story, especially with the murder method involving drinks. Wondering if this was a personal interest or a deliberate thematic element.
