The Murder of Mr. Ma

The rich details of the setting really brought the story to life. I'm curious whether the author drew from real events or crafted a completely fictional world.

The detailed detective work was fascinating, but I found myself wanting more momentum. Was that a deliberate choice to build atmosphere?

The pacing of revelations kept me guessing, but I wonder if the clues were laid out intentionally to encourage readers to solve the case alongside the protagonist.
