Did Patrick's wife know that he was psychic?

This relationship presents questions about his wife, his daughter, and his life. At the end of the day, how could she not know that he had an inability to see through people? If they loved each other as we've come to learn they did, she had to know something. It would take a special woman to fall in love with Patrick Jane. His wife was most definitely a special lady.

Whether his wife really knew that he was psychic bears the questions to whether he can read minds. What we know is that is has the ability to sleuth out details about people. He is very much a modern day Sherlock Holmes.

What is Patrick Jane's car?

He drives a silver Citroen D6 21 or "Goddess". No, this isn't an important piece of information. Yet, this is one question that is simply for the pleasure of every car lover.

This man is certainly not easy to figure out.

Why does Patrick Jane get away with so much?

We've heard the expression "Getting away with murder". That is certainly what Patrick Jane does every time he goes out on a murder investigation. Instead of doing the murder, he solves it. Usually, in the most of unconventional ways possible. The question we must ask is, "Why?" Why does he get away with so much? The answer, I think, is that this man can solve murders. He's good at what he does. His out-landish ways can be put up with because of the results: solved murders!
