1* HarsherInHindsight: It's unsettling how many secondary, supporting, and minor characters smoke in this series, given that Sue Grafton had died of oesophageal cancer from being a smoker herself.
2* MoralEventHorizon: Cappi in ''"V" is for Vengeance'' crosses it when he has a trio of goons throw Phillip off the top of a parking garage over a gambling debt. Typical mob behavior, but what makes this action a MEH is that Phillip had just given his brother, Dante, his $30,000 car (the debt was $26,000, including expenses), hoping that would satisfy the debt. Cappi took his keys; did he have to kill him, too? This contrasts with his own brother, who actually considered the debt settled after agreeing to take the car; Cappi's action also constitutes a double-cross.
3* NauseaFuel: Chapter 20 of ''B is For Burglar'', when Kinsey investigates a suspect's abandoned apartment. What she finds inside is ''disgusting''. It's advised the reader not be eating anything when they reach that part of the book.
4* TheWoobie:
5** In ''M is for Malice'', there's [[BlackSheep Guy.]]
