Dead & Gone

The atmosphere really immerses the reader in the crime world. I'm curious whether the author based it on real events or created it from imagination.

The story had such a strong start and finish, but the middle felt a bit slower. Wondering if that was intentional to build suspense or just personal reading speed.

With so many characters, it was easy to get lost. I'm curious about the process behind weaving their stories together and ensuring each had a purpose.
