* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Jacob in ''[[House Rules (novel)|House Rules]]'', even if his area of genius is limited. It's a trait of his autism.

* [[Isolation Despondency]]: In ''Nineteen Minutes'', Peter is forbidden to contact Josie Cormier after they're found playing with guns.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|In ''Perfect Match'', Nina gets away with murdering Father Szyszynski, the man accused of molesting her son, and Caleb gets away with murdering Father Gwynne, the man who actually did it.}}

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Sean and Charlotte have a ''very'' theatrical reconciliation in the middle of the courtroom in ''[[Handle with Care]]''. Amelia bitterly notes how contrived the scenario was, suspecting the judge of setting it up.
