None
* ItsAllAboutMe: Some of the teens involved in Bob's death have this attitude, caring more about their futures potentially being ruined than about the fact that a man is dead because of their actions. [[{{Jerkass}} Aaron]] and [[AlphaBitch Angie]] are the worst examples of this.
* ShrinkingViolet: Daisy is a shy freshman with a crush on Aaron. After Bob's death, she's easily coerced/intimidated by Aaron into keeping quiet about what happened at the party.

* TeensAreMonsters: One or more of them is a murderer, and the rest of them are covering it up to save their own skins. Somewhat subverted since many of them were shown to be stressed and frightened over what they had done.

* AdultsAreUseless: Many of the parents either [[OpenMindedParent don't care]] about the activities their children are getting into-such as under-age drinking, or worse-make excuses for them. As Katy begins to dig deeper into what happened they get even more forceful, outright demanding that she 'leave their poor kids alone' even though they are responsible for the death of her husband. Much of the town stands with them.

* DisproportionateRetribution: In responsible to Bob politely (albeit a little impatiently) asking them to leave the master bedroom, some of the teens decide to beat him up.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: What kicks off the plot. Bob goes to quiet down the New Year's Eve party happening at his friend's house across the street after the noise wakes his daughter and later asks the teen group to leave the master bedroom (presumably to protect said friend's valuables). In return, he gets assaulted by the teens, with one of them kicking his head hard enough to kill him.

!!''Bond of Silence'' provides examples of:
* AccidentalMurder: The teens obviously didn't set out to murder Bob from the start, they just wanted to beat him up for interrupting their fun.
* AdultsAreUseless: Many of the parents either [[OpenMindedParent don't care]] about the activities their children are getting into-such as under-age drinking, or worse-make excuses for them. As Katy begins to dig deeper into what happened they get even more forceful, outright demanding that she 'leave their poor kids alone' even though they are responsible for the death of her husband. Much of the town stands with them.
* AlphaBitch: Angie is the closest to this trope. She constantly accuses Daisy, and later Jordan of being snitches. [[spoiler: When it comes to Jordan, she turned out being right.]]
* ComingOfAgeStory: A darker one. Even though the main character is Katy, the kids get focus as well.
* DeterminedWidow: Katy, obviously.
* JerkJock: James.
* ManipulativeBastard: Aaron qualifies.
* PoliceAreUseless: Katy sees the detectives investigating Bob's murder like this. She is constantly hounding them because she believes they aren't doing their job properly, and eventually begins to take things into her own hands.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: Daisy is this to Aaron. He is at first disgusted by her, but later uses her crush on him to his [[ManipulativeBastard advantage]] to keep her from spilling any secrets.
* TeensAreMonsters: One or more of them is a murderer, and the rest of them are covering it up to save their own skins. Somewhat subverted since many of them were shown to be stressed and frightened over what they had done.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Jordan. She's eventually the one that [[spoiler: breaks her silence and gives Katy information.]]
* TownWithADarkSecret: The setting starts to take on this trope the longer the murder investigation drags on. The residents are angry that it is hurting their tourism industry.
* TheStoner: Ryan is the biggest offender. At first, he can't even remember what happened the night of the party.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Ryan has one of these as he begins to place together what happened at the party and remembers that he is the one who landed the killing blow to Bob.]]
* WildTeenParty: It's what sets the whole plot in motion.
