Murder on Capitol Hill

The setting on Capitol Hill adds so much depth and realism. I wonder what inspired her to choose this backdrop for a crime story—was it personal experience or a desire to explore political power?

The detailed political scenes felt authentic but also made me curious if that was a deliberate choice to build suspense or just to set the scene. How did others feel about the balance between politics and action?

The characters seemed layered and nuanced, which made the mystery more engaging. I’m curious how the author approached developing these political figures’ personalities and flaws.
