** Bob is a NiceGuy who, [[KafkaKomedy through no fault or conscious action of his own]], has a list of [[SitcomArchNemesis enemies who would benefit from his untimely demise]] a couple miles (not typical American miles, ''nautical'' miles) long.

Added DiffLines:

** Bob's suicide plan worked as well as it did (by which we mean almost ''[[GoneHorriblyRight too]]'' well) because the man who supplied Bob with the method to commit suicide hated Bob and thus, instead of the method Bob asked of him that was supposed to be quick, painless and leave a beautiful corpse, he gave Bob a method that made Bob's final moments tortuous and [[{{Gorn}} you can just forget]] about the "leave a beautiful corpse" part (if [[NotEnoughToBury it left a corpse at all]]).

** Alice, Chris, Evelyn and Dave are only the initial suspects. The longer the investigation goes, the more suspects appear, every single one with a significant motive and plenty of opportunity (and a few who come out of the woodworks to confess because of trying to protect someone else or because they believe the infamy would do them some good), to the point that the investigator needs to figure out how to remove ''the whole damn town'' (all ''several thousand people in it'') from the list by the story's climax. Bob really was '''that much''' of an asshole.
