Not an Asshole[]
- In his first appearance, during Celebrity in Death, Eve told Roarke he wasn’t an asshole so Roarke’s media team would work with Kyung.[7]
- Delusion in Death: “Chief of Police Tibble’s top spinner wasn’t an asshole.”[8]
- Thankless in Death: An excellent smile, tall and lean, and, Eve “reminded herself, Kyung wasn’t an asshole”[9]
- In Obsession in Death, Eve told Peabody, “Kyung’s no asshole”[10]; “He wasn’t an asshole,” she reminded herself[11]; “Jesus, Kyung, remember how I said you’re not an asshole? Well, I’m not a moron.”[12]
- Apprentice in Death: “...Kyung, the media liaison - who wasn’t an asshole...”
- Secrets in Death: “Kyung, the media liaison -- and not an asshole...”[13] and “Not only not an asshole, but an advantage.”[14]
- Connections in Death: “A tall, slick-looking black man (and not an asshole)”
- Encore in Death: Roarke: “Kyung, as you’re fond of saying, isn’t an asshole”[15] and “as [Eve] knew he respected the work above the media, he ranked as not an asshole.”[16]
- Framed in Death: After Kyung complimented Eve, by saying, “May I say you look particularly well today?” she gave him a narrow-eyed stare. “I’ve always thought you’re not an asshole, Kyung. Don’t make me change my mind.” Since he kept the media conference to twenty minutes “despite more shouted, repetitive, and often - to her mind - stupid questions, Kyung retained his status of not an asshole.”<ref name=fc22>
