Тугая струна (Тони Хилл и Кэрол Джордан, №2)

The character's internal battles add a lot of depth to the story. I'm curious whether this was based on real cases or purely fictional.

While the buildup was intense, I found myself wanting more momentum during that section. Was that intentional to build suspense or a pacing choice?

Switching viewpoints added complexity but also made me wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
