As far as the murders, have you ever seen an action movie?
Have you ever read a novel and gotten an insistent background vibe from it that says “something isn’t quite right with the person who wrote this”? I got this pretty strong from John C. Wright’s The Golden Age trilogy, even though I started reading it knowing next to nothing about Wright.

I get this a lot from A Song of Ice and Fire.
