No Pronunciation Guide is now a disambig. Dewicking


* NoPronunciationGuide: A lot of readers were pronouncing Louis as "Lewis" for years. WordOfGod on the author's website FAQ confirmed the pronunciation as "Louie", but it wasn't clarified in-universe until the seventh book in the series.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


Nothing to do with the musician Music/CharlieParker (though NamesTheSame gets acknowledged a few times).

* BelatedBackstory: It's stated in ''Every Dead Thing'' that Angel is "capable of stealing the fluff from under the president's nostrils", but backstory in ''The White Road'' tells us that he is in fact "the dumbest damn burglar since Watergate". In ''The Reapers'' it's reconciled somewhat, explaining that he is very technically proficient with security systems, but lacks tactical planning skills.

Added DiffLines:

* CareerRevealingTrait: Early in ''The Unquiet,'' a minor character by the name of Dave "The Guesser" Glovsky makes a comfortable living by wagering tourists that he can guess things like their weight, choice of car or occupation. Observant by nature, the Guesser accomplishes the latter by looking for distinctive signs on the punters, providing a paragraph of tells to look out for: accountants and typists have a slight flattening of the fingertips, chefs have tiny burns and scars on their hands, and so on. It's for this reason that the Guesser swiftly recognizes that his current customer has spent much of his adult life killing people and is immediately nervous.
