圣诞老人疑案

The festive setting adds a cozy charm, but I wonder if it was also a way to contrast the dark deed. Did the holiday atmosphere influence the story's tone?

The characters felt familiar yet unique, which made me curious whether the author drew inspiration from real people or crafted them entirely from imagination.
