Murder at the Blarney Bash

The close-knit community feeling was lovely, but I wondered if that also made it harder for the characters to trust each other. Did others feel the same?

The festive background added fun energy to the story, but I'm curious if that setting was chosen to contrast the dark events or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The lighthearted tone made the mystery enjoyable without feeling too heavy, but I wonder how the tone was managed during the darker moments.
