Murder on Gramercy Park

The neighborhood's history and atmosphere really come alive in the story. I'm curious if the author has a personal connection or if the setting was chosen for its unique vibe.

The story had such a cozy charm, but I noticed the plot took a bit of a breather at times. Was that intentional to build atmosphere or character depth?

The historical elements felt authentic and immersive. I wonder what research went into crafting the 19th-century setting and how much was fictionalized.
