Line 22:
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Nick. Whilst Tim faints at the slight of blood and is constantly caught at the scenes of murders holding incriminating evidence (typically the murder weapon), he solves every single case.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Many times, even the titles of the books.
* [[Last -Name Basis]]: Snape and Boyle; in the former's case it turns out that his first name is [[Embarrassing First Name|Freddie]].
* [[Odd Name Out]]: The first six books' titles are all parodies of crime novels and movies such as ''[[The Maltese Falcon (Film)|The Maltese Falcon]]'' and ''[[North By Northwest]]''. The last book's title is taken from ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Literature)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]''.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Inverted in that Nick chose to abandon his parents when they emigrated to Australia.
