A Noël Killing

The festive atmosphere really brought the story to life, but I wonder if the setting was born out of a personal love for the region or a desire to evoke holiday warmth.

It’s interesting how the cozy vibes made the crime feel less dark and more like a festive puzzle. Did that balance work for others?

The details about local customs and holiday celebrations added richness to the story. I’m curious whether these were based on personal experience or research.
