O Castor Assassinado

The protagonist feels so lived-in and authentic. I wonder what inspired her to develop this particular personality and approach to solving crimes.

While the buildup was suspenseful, some parts felt a bit slow. Do you think this was intentional to build atmosphere or a pacing issue?

Class distinctions seem central to the plot and characters' motives. I'm curious if this was reflective of her own views or a deliberate choice for mystery depth.
