YMMV / The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club

• Jerkass Woobie: George Fentiman is singularly bad-tempered, and infamous in his family for bullying his devoted wife. He also suffers from severe PTSD and chronic organ dysfunction from being gassed in the War, and suffers frequent self-destructive psychotic episodes.
• Spoiled by the Format: By the beginning of chapter 14, things seem to be wrapping up; Lord Peter has solved the problem he was asked to investigate and everything is lining up to confront the culprit. The reader however can tell that there's more to be revealed, because there remain 120 pages in the novel — not to mention the fact that it's a murder mystery and so far there hasn't been (anything recognized as) a murder.
• Values Dissonance: George Fentiman suffers stigma from his own close family because his wife is the breadwinner of their household. He's suffering from multiple invisible disabilities which prevent him working, which his family know perfectly well.
