Character Overlap: A number of examples from previous series. The extensive Vane family, several of whose members appear in Charles' previous series Society of Gentlemen is mentioned, and Jerry poses as one for the sake of the con. The Countess of Moreton is Greta Starling, the sister of previous protagonist Pen Starling, from An Unsuitable Heir, the final book of the Sins of the Cities trilogy. | |

Chronic Evidence Retention Syndrome | |
| Any Old Diamonds / int_1bbe87f7 | comment |
Chronic Evidence Retention Syndrome: Apart from the parure, the safe contains a ring that belonged to the Duchess's first husband, which she could only have obtained by taking it off his body. Alec muses that she is incapable of giving up anything she views as hers, even if it literally puts her life on the line. (While her rank and gender make it unlikely that she would actually hang even if convicted, she still could.) | |

Bad Boss: The turnover rate at Castle Speight is incredibly high, as the Duchess demands she should never even have to see the servants and fires them on the spot for the pettiest of reasons. | |
