The story builds up to a tense climax, but I was left wondering about the true motives of some characters. Did others feel satisfied with how it wrapped up or wish for more closure?

The pacing and descriptions kept me on edge. I'm curious whether Louise Doughty planned the suspense carefully or if it evolved during writing.

The contrast between the normal environment and the dark events was striking. I wonder if the setting was based on real places or purely fictional.
