FDR Drive

The tension builds so well throughout the novel, especially in the scenes on FDR Drive. I wonder what techniques or choices contributed most to this feeling.

The detectives' backstories added layers to their motivations, which made me more invested. I'm curious if this was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.

The setting feels almost like a character itself, with its gritty, vibrant backdrop. I wonder if real events or locations influenced this choice.
