Comic-Book Time: We first meet Dalgliesh in 1962 as a DCI, a rank he would likely have to be at least 30 to attain. Furthermore, he lost his wife in childbirth 13 years prior, making him at minimum mid-30s. Dalgliesh is still active in the contemporary police force in 2008, which would make him at least 80. | |

The Stoic: Dalgliesh is known, at least outwardly, for being rather enigmatic and dour, approaching cases with a certain coolness. | |

Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness | |
| Adam Dalgliesh / int_553c27bb | comment |
Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: James' novels definitely err on the side of seriousness; murder mysteries are not a game here. | |

By-the-Book Cop: Kate and Dalgliesh are both fastidious in their belief in proper enforcement of the law. When Daniel lets a suspect commit suicide rather than face prison, it shines through. Daniel is disgusted by their (especially Kate's) absolute belief in the the law, and they have a conversation about it. Paraphrased a little: | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
| Adam Dalgliesh / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: In Death of an Expert Witness, Dalgleish reflects back to his days as a Police Constable, remembering his superior telling him that he'll never make detective unless he understands that love, not hate, is the most destructive force on earth. This proves true when the murder is solved: the victim and the killer both had an affair with the same woman; after she transferred her affections to the killer, the victim was so insanely jealous that he planned to write to the killer’s ex-wife, giving her enough juicy details to allow her to take full custody of their children. | |
