Line 33:
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Jacob in ''[[House Rules (novel)|House Rules]]'', even if his area of genius is limited. It's a trait of his autism. He openly states that his brother isn't as smart as him, and sees his lack of empathy as "the next step in evolution: I cannot take away your sadness, so why should I acknowledge it?"
* [[Isolation Despondency]]: In ''Nineteen Minutes'', Peter is forbidden to contact Josie Cormier after they're found playing with guns.
* [[Ivy League]]: Princeton class of 1987.
* [[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.
