Murder on the Quai

The descriptions of the city streets and local spots really brought the story to life. I wonder how much research went into capturing the ambiance?

The pacing of uncovering details felt just right, but I’m curious whether the story was planned with this reveal structure or evolved during writing.

I had my suspicions but the ending still caught me off guard. Did the clues point to this all along, or was it a clever misdirection?
