Thirty-Six and a Half Motives

The blend of genres kept the story fresh, but I wonder what inspired the choice to include supernatural twists alongside realistic motives.

The idea of motives that are only partially revealed added layers to the story, but I wondered if it made it harder to follow or more engaging.

Each character felt distinct and lively—did the author base them on real people or build them from scratch? I'd love to hear about the inspiration.
