Post mortem

The bleak, icy landscape adds so much atmosphere to the crime narrative. I wonder if the author based it on real locations or created it to enhance the mood.

The story had some intense moments but also stretched out at times. I'm curious if that was a deliberate choice to build tension or to develop characters more deeply.

The pacing of revealing clues kept me guessing, but I wonder what led to the decision to unfold the mystery this way—was it planned from the start or evolved during writing?
