* LoveMakesYouEvil: In ''Death of an Expert Witness'', Dalgleish reflects back to his days as a Police Constable, remembering his superior telling him that he'll never make detective unless he understands that love, [[ThePowerofHate not hate]], is the most destructive force on earth. This proves true when the murder is solved: [[spoiler:the victim and the killer both had an affair with the same woman; after she transferred her affections to the killer, the victim was so insanely jealous that he planned to write to the killer’s ex-wife, giving her enough juicy details to allow her to take full custody of their children.]]
