Environment.
The story is set in Vienna, the capital of Austria. I just love how the author describes it. It's like he put so much thought behind every single word and he describes it so precisely that you feel like you're right there.
Here's an extract from the book that proves my point:
Vienna. A city of romance, of suspence, of intrigue, history and glory. The imperial heart of the Habsburgs, the setting for Graham Greene's masterly post-war thriller The Third Man, the city of the not-so-blue Danube, Strauss waltzes and cream cakes that seem to make one put weight on simply by staring at them.
As I said, he makes Vienna seem so interesting. So interesting that you almost forget the terrible thing that actually happened there and the terrible thing that the story is about.
