* DerailingLoveInterests: Danay and Lee used this trope in their mystery novels, most blatantly in [[spoiler: ''There Was an Old Woman'']]. In that one, two of the main characters are engaged throughout the whole book, only getting married after Ellery provides a sensible solution. [[spoiler: Of course, Ellery interrupts the wedding to reveal that the fiancé was the true mastermind of the whole murder scheme, playing Iago towards the culprit of the previous solution.]] In a bizarre final-chapter extra twist, [[spoiler: the fiancée, now left behind by both lover and family, decides to change her name and become Nikki Porter, the secretary and love interest of Ellery Queen in his spin-off radio show!]]
