Murder in Chinatown

The setting feels so rich and authentic — I wonder if the author did extensive research or drew from personal experiences. How did they decide which details to include?

I loved the atmosphere, but I found myself wishing for a bit more pacing in certain chapters. Was this intentional to build tension or character depth?

The cultural elements felt very genuine, but I’m curious about the process behind integrating history and culture respectfully and accurately into the story.
