The Monkey's Raincoat

The vivid depiction of Los Angeles really immerses the reader in the setting. I’m curious what inspired the author to capture that specific vibe and how much of the city’s culture influenced the story.

The detective’s actions often walk a fine line between right and wrong, which made me question what justice really means. Am I the only one who was rooting for him despite his flaws?

The plot unfolds with a lot of twists and a layered reveal. I wonder if the author planned the story arcs from the start or if the suspense was built up as the story developed.
