Overture to Death

The use of a concert or performance backdrop adds an intriguing layer to the story. I'm curious if this was a personal interest or a creative choice to reflect themes of illusion and reality.

While I appreciated the detailed investigation, those sections felt a bit drawn out. Was that intentional to build tension or a reflection of the story's realistic approach?

The characters' backgrounds seemed to shape their actions and secrets. Did others notice how Marsh subtly critiques societal hierarchies through their interactions?
