Non-Indicative Title: Despite having "Murder" in the title like the other books of the series outside of The Christmas Thief, Haunted House Murder does not feature a murder. Instead, it focuses on the disappearance of a child. | |

Dirty Coward: Quentin Rea. Not only does he try to kill Lucy by strangling her from behind, he tries to save his own neck with a plea deal by ratting out the people he got to kill George Temple. Luckily, Lucy is able to convince DA Aucoin that Rea made the whole thing up from some literature he wrote, making sure the bastard's going to rot in jail. | |

Jake is a cheap man who runs Downeast Mortgage alongside Scribner, which has most of Tinker's Cove under its thumb. Like A Christmas Carol, the latter gets better as a person and the former dies. | |

Come Bake Sale Murder, the business has taken off so much that she travels to China quarterly to get new materials. It's also revealed in Tippy-Toe Murder that Franny killed her abusive husband and got away with it. | |

Parental Incest | |
| Lucy Stone Mysteries / int_606244c2 | comment |
Parental Incest: In Tippy Toe Murder, a particularly repugnant example happens in the book's main plot. The main story involves the disappearance of a retired dance instructor, with a few chapters revealing she's seemingly kidnapped a small child. It turns out the instructor's trying to help one of her former students by hiding her daughter from her father, who's been accused of sexually abusing the girl. Halfway through the book it's confirmed the father has indeed been molesting his child, and he even reminisces on the first time he did it. When she was a baby. Lucy takes it upon herself to hide the girl with her family after the father brutalizes the instructor when he can't find his daughter. | |

Punny Name: The head of the newspaper from Father's Day Murder was named Luther Read. Prudence Pratt from Star Spangled Murder is a possible case of this. She's against the nudists coming to Tinker's Cove, rather prudish, and her Jerkass behavior makes her kind of a Pratt. Jake Marlowe. Since the guy is the victim of a book called Christmas Carol Murder, worked as a moneylender, and his partner talks about seeing his ghost, take a wild guess who his name is based on... | |

Teacher/Student Romance: Lucy gets a crush on her professor Quentin Rea when she takes some classes in Back to School Murder. Downplayed, as while she does kiss him and let him feel one of her breasts, she comes to her senses and stops. Quentin reappears in English Tea Murder, apparently still having a thing for Lucy. As the description of the book says: Quentin is in one of these with Autumn Mackie (or at least Autumn thinks they are) in that book. It ends poorly when she announces that she is pregnant, and he kills her when she plans to announce their relationship. | |

From Bad to Worse: The cookie exchange in Christmas Cookie Murder starts off awkward when Steffi arrives early for the sake of handing out pamphlets to raise awareness of drunk driving. Then the arriving moms start talking about which of their kids got accepted into what college, with Steffi making an anti-Semitic comment. Then Lee arrives using the exchange to vent about her husband being a bastard before she accuses Tucker of stealing her cookie recipe. And then Andrea breaks down in tears because her son Tim was arrested for drunk driving and she thinks the others are judging her. And then the clogged upstairs toilet leads to a pipe breaking and all the cookies being destroyed in the ensuing water damage. | |

Where Did We Go Wrong?: Andrea in Christmas Cookie Murder is embarrassed about her son Tim being arrested for drunk driving. While she initially brags about the full sports scholarship he received to a nearby college, she starts crying out of fear the other moms at the cookie exchange are judging her for her son's behavior, as if she or her husband did something to him to explain his behavior. She states she raised Tim like any other child, and has no idea how that still led to him driving while intoxicated and getting arrested for it. | |

All of their lives had been ruined in some way by George Temple's ponzi scheme, so they all got together to give the prick what he deserved.

Asshole Victim | |
| Lucy Stone Mysteries / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: The series has its fair share: Morrill Slack from Tippy Toe Murder is the tightfisted owner of the Main Street Hardware Store. Not only is he a cheap bastard and an all-around jerk to everyone including his wife, he even calls his daughter-in-law a dago because her son (his grandson) stole from the shop. This is one of the reasons she bashes in his head with a video camera. Ron Davitz from Wedding Day Murder. He's a rich asshole who does what he wants when he wants, even if it messes with the local fishermen. Topping it all is that the dot com that made him so rich is a pump and dump scam, and he's using his wedding to Sidra Finch as an opportunity to flee his investors during the "honeymoon". Stanley "Snake" Henderson from Birthday Party Murder is a biker thug who works with his mother to take from his grandaunt, Miss Tilley. He's a rude asswipe who killed Sherman Cobb to make it easier for the inheritance to be divided once he and Shirley had finished off Miss Tilley. It really says something about how crappy he is when his own mother shoots him dead. Prudence Pratt from Star Spangled Murder, Lucy's neighbor. A shrew and a nag. Her crowning achievement is stealing one of her other neighbor's favorite chicken, cooking it, and inviting said neighbor over to eat it just for kicks. This causes said neighbor to snap and run her down with her truck. Nadine Nelson from New Year's Eve Murder. The head of Jolie Magazine, Nadine is a Rich Bitch to her core, especially for arguing in favor of using real fur in clothing and having poverty stricken people in foreign villages model expensive jewelry. George Temple, from English Tea Murder. Before becoming a professor at Winchester College, he was an investment advisor who ended up running a ponzi scheme, which ended up destroying the lives of the people on Lucy's tour. This made all the members of the tour work together to kill him. Jake Marlowe, a much despised moneylender from Christmas Carol Murder. | |

Karmic Death: Ed Bumpus used cheap materials to rebuild Tinker's Cove' library, then killed the librarian to keep her from finding out and killed another man to frame him for the murder. When he tries to fight Bill on the roof of the library, it caves in and kills him. | |

The tour group in English Tea Murder. All of their lives had been ruined in some way by George Temple's ponzi scheme, so they all got together to give the prick what he deserved. Note that this does not apply to the guy who planned the murder, Quentin Rea. | |

Foreshadowing: A few times, the books mention characters that appear in later books: In Father's Day Murder, Lucy mentions her neighbor Prudence Pratt having trouble with Kudo eating her chickens. Prudence would become the victim of Star Spangled Murder. In Wicked Witch Murder, Lucy takes a boy named Nemo Anderson back to his parent's place when they can't pick him up from a Halloween party. Nemo is kidnapped in the novella Gingerbread Cookies and Gunshots. | |

Christmas Cookie Murder identifies his first name as "CJ". Toby's full name is Tobias.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
| Lucy Stone Mysteries / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each main book and some of the novella stories starts with some sort of holiday (or a reference to something about said holiday) or day of celebration followed by the word "Murder". For example: Mistletoe Murder, Wedding Day Murder, Wicked Witch Murder. Subverted with the first two novellas, since that format is how the Hannah Swensen books operate and would likely get confusing, and for The Christmas Thief, which doesn't involve murder at all. | |

Tyrant Takes the Helm: When Tom Scott takes over the police department in Christmas Cookie Murder, he pushes a zero tolerance drug policy on the town using every opportunity available to push his agenda. It's acknowledged that Tom's initiatives aren't actually helping anyone, to the point of totally derailing an annual toy giveaway the department does for needy children. And this is before he's exposed as a co-conspirator in the drug market flooding Tinker's Cove. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Lucy Stone Mysteries / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: Subverted in Christmas Cookie Murder. Tinker's Cove is apparently being flooded with drugs, and Lucy's not happy to learn Toby's been smoking pot when he should be working on his college applications. However, while Lucy and Bill are concerned and get Toby to stop, the book avoids getting too heavy handed about it and treats it more as serious irresponsibility than a debilitating addiction which could ruin his life. Meanwhile, new police chief Tom Scott's zero tolerance anti-drug initiatives are lambasted for being too excessive. He hijacks a department Santa Claus program to distribute a bunch of anti-drug coloring books to underprivileged children who were genuinely looking forward to the toys and gifts Santa (Barney Culpepper) usually hands out. Elizabeth is almost suspended for two weeks because she lent her inhaler (a "controlled substance") to help a classmate having a bad asthma attack. And then it's revealed Tom's a massive hypocrite who is heavily involved in the drugs flowing into town, having murdered Tucker because she knew too much. | |

Switching P.O.V.: Some of the books begin from the perspective of the victims before they die. Trick or Treat Murder begins with Monica Mayes heading to her family home after finding her husband in bed with her trainer and then going to sleep in the house...just before it gets burned down. Valentine Murder follows librarian Bitsy Howell as she sets up at the library before the day's story time and before she gets shot. Candy Corn Murder keeps jumping back and forth to the 1970s from the perspective of a woman in an abusive family life until she is murdered. Christmas Carol Murder starts with victim Jake Marlowe going through his morning before he gets blown up with a mail bomb. | |
