I am fascinated by motive. It reveals so much about the character's traits, history, and thought processes. And I agree that it's more interesting to read about a real person who has been stretched to their limit rather than a categorically "bad" villain.

I LOVE a well rendered mystery! Not steeped in unrealistic gore or gruesome in personal horrific tragedy though, more of the psychological qualities that test our own sanity. I would truly enjoy seeing your process for how your story will/might unfold. I love to write, and I do it often, but curating a mystery beyond solving the obscure spice in a fragrant sauce is beyond my scope - ha! I would, of course, love a sneaky peek at a scene you might share with us.
