Банкир (Иностранная литература. Классика детектива)

The detailed insights into horse racing added authenticity, but I'm curious whether this background was inspired by personal experience or research. Did it come naturally to the story?

While I loved the intricate details, at times the story felt a bit sluggish in the middle. Was that intentional to build tension or just how the plot unfolded?

It’s an interesting twist on the typical detective archetype. I wonder what led to choosing a financial professional as the main character in a crime thriller.
