The Tees Valley Killings

The regional setting adds a unique flavor to the crime narrative. I'm curious whether the author has personal ties to the area or chose it for its atmosphere.

The story delves deep into procedural details, which I enjoyed, but some parts felt a bit slow. Was that intentional to build suspense or character depth?

The gradual unveiling kept me guessing, but I'm wondering if this was planned from the beginning or developed during writing to enhance mystery.
