Wilde Lake

The shifting viewpoints added layers to the mystery, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did it help build suspense or make it more confusing?

The small-town setting made me think about how close-knit communities can hide big secrets. Did others find the portrayal of neighborhood dynamics authentic or a bit exaggerated?

The setting seems almost like a character itself, with its own mood and secrets. I'm curious whether real places inspired this or if it’s purely fictional.
