Deadfall

The story balances tense moments with quieter investigations, and I wonder how much planning went into that rhythm. Did the author intentionally slow down the pace for emotional impact?

The courtroom scenes and procedural accuracy were impressive, but at times I wondered if they detracted from the narrative tension. Was this balance difficult to strike?

The vivid descriptions made the places feel alive, almost like another character. I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or extensive research.
