Death of an Avid Reader

The book immerses readers in a world where books and readers are central. I wonder if the author’s own love for literature influenced this backdrop or if it grew from researching the era.

The story had a nice rhythm, but I found myself wanting to get back to the mystery. Was that intentional to deepen character development or a pacing choice?

The literary references added richness to the setting, but I’m curious whether specific titles were chosen for thematic reasons or personal favorites.
