Когда умирает король (Триллеры МИФ. Скандинавская серия)

The cultural backdrop adds depth to the mystery but I'm curious whether the author drew from real events or crafted a fictional world.

The story really picked up again toward the end, but I wondered if the slower sections were a deliberate choice to deepen character development.

The emotional layers made the story more impactful, and I’m interested in how this balance was achieved during writing.
