The story is intended to be a real page turner and most everything else is subservient to this. "The story begins in London and the climactic finale is there," Talbot said of "Grandville Mon Amour." "The cultural and social backdrop will become apparent over time, though, as my primary intent is to tell a ripping yarn. With most of book one taking place in Paris, though, readers might be curious to see more of Detective Inspector LeBrock's home city of London and how it operates in this world. This has a number of cultural implications, such as relegating the English language to a coarse regional dialect, but the full scope of how this world differs from our own has yet to be revealed. The first book introduced - and then radically shook up - a world in which Britain had only recently gained its independence from the French Empire. The prevalence of anthropomorphized animals might be the first thing readers notice about "Grandville's" unique set-up, but it doesn't take long before several story elements flesh out the setting.
