Denial of responsibility: possible strange language constructs are caused by translation from the author’s native language into English.
List of tropes
- Large Ham: Pharqraut, friend of Galbraith. He himself appears in fact only in three chapters, but the inspector remembered his funny phrases for a long time, even when he was in London.
- Linked List Clue Methodology: At the end of the story, Galbraith solves a small puzzle, the first two clues of which were essentially indicated in the materials of the case of his late friend.
- Like Father, Like Son: It is noted that Delia is as angry as her own father, which makes the latter delighted.
- Lost in Translation: The work was originally written in Russian, but since the author, on principle, refused to publish it in his native language, he had to translate his work himself. Because of this, many idioms and phraseological units, when literally translated, either lost their meaning or began to mean something completely different than in the original version.
- Love at First Sight: This is precisely the driving force of the plot – Jordan Thurlow and Galbraith develop feelings for Delia when they see her for the first time for themselves.
