The Fashion in Shrouds

The setting feels so vividly tied to class distinctions. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experience or historical research to craft this backdrop.

Some parts felt more reflective than action-packed, but it seemed to add depth. Would love to hear if others felt the same or if it affected the story's tension.

The detective's insights and quirks made him memorable, and I wonder if he's inspired by a particular figure or archetype from that era.
