She was definitely a bit more clever than Olaf was, at least in her first appearance, but she gave a few hints. "Even though I am unbelievably wealthy" was meant to lure them into a false sense of comfort because she wouldn't need their fortune, and "let's stop talking about depressing things like people getting kidnapped" was meant to keep them away from finding the Quagmires.

I'm just gonna say it. Esme was a way more fun/engaging character to watch than Olaf (or any of the other villains).

Allow me to play Devil's advocate for a moment here. Esme only wanted the sugar bowl to complete her tea-set. She didn't want the CONTENTS of the sugar bowl. Therefore, if Beatrice and Lemony had simply moved the contents of the sugar bowl into a different container, then Esme would have had her completed tea set, and would therefore have never indulged in a life of villany and revenge. Beatrice and Lemony Snicket were entirely at fault for the Schism and for the Series of Unfortunate Events that followed!!!

And that black lipstick she was wearing during the auction, with those piercing eyes and that sultry grin full of malice … let’s just say I had to pause to get a hold of myself, and possibly of a few other things.
