* ClimbingClimax: LampshadeHanging in ''Service of all the Dead'', where Morse pursues the murderer up a church tower. The narration notes that afterwards, Lewis pointed out he could just have waited at the bottom and called for backup, rather than try to take the man on single-handed and nearly get killed.

* MurderByMistake: ''Death is Now My Neighbour'' sees Morse investigating two murders of people who lived next door to each other. He works out that the first victim was in fact an example of this trope, with the second victim being the intended victim — the murderer had committed the crime by shooting the victim from a path running behind the back gardens, but (due to the street in question not having a house numbered 13) [[spoiler: she]] had miscounted the houses when doing the first murder.
