The Mesmerist

The historical backdrop adds so much atmosphere, but I'm curious whether it was a love for that period or a fascination with the subject of mesmerism that sparked the idea.

The way characters manipulate minds raises questions about free will. I wonder how the author approached balancing historical accuracy with the darker themes.

The suspense feels so organic within the era's social constraints — I’d love to hear whether the plot was built around historical events or crafted to fit the mystery.
