* UnreliableExpositor: The narrator's wife in "L.T.'s Theory of Pets" believes that L.T. is this. She theorizes [[spoiler: that he must have killed her ex-wife and Frank and made up the story of their pets breaking them up so people would pity rather than suspect him]]. The narrator is amused by this theory but also gives her a ThisIsReality and WhatTheHellHero speech: there isn't any proof of foul play, [[spoiler:and no one cries like that about their ex-wife unless they really cared]]. If she really thinks that is the case, then she should go to the cops. His wife doesn't.
