The Headmaster's List

The setting adds a layer of complexity and youthful energy to the suspense. I'm curious how the author decided to make high school a backdrop for such dark secrets.

The story seemed to build up tension but then had a lull before the final reveal. Was this intentional to develop characters or a pacing choice?

The hidden truths seem to drive the story forward. I'm interested in how the author balanced revealing secrets with maintaining suspense.
