wrongheaded crackpots
There are many of these on this earth. Still and all, I would posit that a $200 anything deserves some attention and care. I spent weeks working myself up to buying my new computer, and have still not settled in my mind that the bike I am thinking about is The Perfect Bike that I shall love and cherish till the end of my days.
$5 t-shirt, I feel no remorse about dripping shmutz on it the first day I wear it. $200 Evening gown? I will employ a shmutz-avoidance field generator.

You can posit, but I don't think that your positing will affect the thousands of men that buy suits because they have to wear them to work, and really don't care how they look.
I worked with a guy that wore a bright purple (like, Prince would decline wearing it -- Barney bright) suit two or three times a week. Customers would ask me about it. I never worked out if he was one of those that didn't care, or if he did care, and this was what he really wanted to be wearing.
I don't know what's more egregious -- wearing a hideous purple suit, or wearing the obviously same suit 2-3 times a week. At least he needs a closetful in rainbow colors, you know?

Have to wonder if the guy was color blind. I had a teacher once who was and all blues and yellows looked the same to him, various shades of tan.

Not the red/green sort. I remember discovering it for the network tech who was (I have no idea how he got past 30, with TWO COLOUR BLIND BROTHERS and never noticed), so I was hyper-aware in that job of who could read router lights and who couldn't.

Have you got one of those that repels milk from tiny bottles used ton feet kittens? The stuff that dribbles all over my shirt?
It's only a ten-dollar GAP shirt, but I loves it, I do, and I wish no milk on it, and want your field generator.
So here's another question.
If you were reading a mystery, even if it was one with a romantic angle (i.e. the people solving the murder fall in love), would you be completely turned off if the victim was a nice older woman (actually a children's book author) whom everyone in town loved?
My theory is, nice people get murdered, too. And in this case, what with no one having a motive, and her having no family left to fight over her will, I thought it would be interesting to figure out who did kill her, since it's not obvious. Why would someone kill her, etc?
Am I nuts?
I think the victim being nice adds to the interest, personally. The original victim in Matty Groves was a much-loved sweetie pie.

I can't see how a nice person could be a no no. I mean, avenging and all. I'd think it a perfectly suitable draw.
