Espresso and Evil

The warm, inviting atmosphere really makes the story stand out. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or imagined it from scratch.

The witty dialogue kept the tone light even during the mystery. I wonder if that was planned to create contrast or just naturally developed.

The main character feels so relatable and charming. I'm interested in what inspired her background and traits—was it someone real or a collection of traits?
