The Scandal

The story kept me hooked, but I found myself more interested in the characters' personal dramas. Was that intentional or just how the story unfolded?

The small-town vibe added layers of tension and intimacy. I wonder if real-life events influenced this setting or if it was purely fictional.

The romance added depth but also slowed down the mystery at times. Did others find that balance worked, or did it detract from the thriller aspect?
