The Graveyard Thief

The town feels so vivid and atmospheric—I'm curious whether it was based on a real place or entirely fictional. How did the author craft this cozy yet intriguing backdrop?

The character's motivations made me empathize with them but also question their morality. How do readers reconcile liking a character who does something questionable?

The tone felt just right—light enough to keep it cozy but with enough tension to keep me hooked. I'm wondering if that balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
