無罪之罰

The story gradually unpacks decades of secrets, but I wondered if the pacing kept everyone engaged throughout. Did the slow build work for others?

The setting really amplifies the personal stakes and the sense of everyone knowing each other's secrets. I'm curious whether this was based on a real place or just a storytelling choice.

The book delved into grief and trauma in a way that felt very human, not just plot-driven. Did others feel this added a new layer to the mystery?
