Lucro de Matar

The detective's decisions felt complex and realistic, but I wonder what inspired the author to make him so conflicted. Did real cases influence this portrayal?

The story picked up again towards the end, but I found the slower middle sections a bit challenging. Was that an intentional choice to build tension or character depth?

The vivid descriptions made the city feel alive, but I’m curious if the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination. How does the setting influence the story’s mood?
