Steeped in Evil

The small-town atmosphere and culinary details really bring the story to life. I wonder if the author has a personal connection to this environment or cuisine.

I found myself wishing for a bit more momentum, but I also appreciated the character moments. What did others think about the story's rhythm?

The vivid descriptions made me crave baked goods and teas, which enhanced the comforting atmosphere. I'm curious if this focus on food was planned to deepen the immersion.
