The Case of the Buried Clock

The clock seems like such an unusual object for a crime story — I wonder if it was a symbolic choice or simply a plot device. What do you think led to this detail?

The legal battles felt authentic and intense, making me wonder how much research went into portraying the courtroom drama realistically. Did others find this aspect as compelling as the mystery?

There were moments where the legal intricacies slowed down the story, but it also made the stakes feel more real. I’m curious if this was a deliberate choice to heighten the suspense or a natural outcome of the genre.
