- Values Dissonance: The modern reader's sympathies are likely to abruptly reorient themselves when the Cause of Wicked Cousin George's blackmail of Great Aunt Caroline is revealed in Police at the Funeral (George's mother was of mixed race)
- The books also make not infrequent use of the n-word when referring to Africans, particularly in The Fashion In Shrouds, in which Campion also tells his own sister Val that she is in need of 'a good cry or a good rape'. While the latter acts as a set up for Val to cut down the argument that women who are emotional just need to get laid (consenting or otherwise), it can be hard to feel sympathy for Campion after that.
