The premise is perfect for dark humor: a little old lady takes matters (read: lives) into her own hands any time she dislikes something. She plays up her age, acting like she needs a walker and hearing aids. No one suspects a thing.

I don't know if it was the translation or just the author's style, but the language is very simple and straightforward. I think the dark humor could have been ramped up if it had been written in a style that was more like Lemony Snicket.
