** In ''Rainbow's End'', Bossie Jarvis sneaks back to a site connected to the murder in search of a useful clue, and runs into a friendly acquaintance there. When the acquaintance asks if his parents will be worried about where he is, he casually explains that he's arranged for them to think he's staying at a friend's house -- and then realises from the other's reaction that (a) he's alone with the murderer and (b) he's just told the murderer nobody will be wondering where he is until tomorrow...

** In ''City of Gold and Shadows'', a police team set out to search the spots on the river where things tend to wash up, in case a missing boy has fallen in the river. They've searched nearly all the places on their list when the junior member of the team incautiously remarks that it looks like the boy didn't go in the river after all -- and of course his body is in the next place they look. This gets him an angry YouJustHadToSayIt from his superior, as well as a lampshading from the narrator.
