Murder on Madison Square

The vivid descriptions of 1890s New York really brought the setting to life, but I wonder if some details were romanticized. What stood out most about the historical accuracy?

The book felt both charming and suspenseful, which is a tricky mix. Did the tone feel consistent, or were there moments where the mood shifted unexpectedly?

The setting felt integral to the story, but I’m curious whether the author was inspired by real events or a particular fascination with that place and time.
