Goofs[]
- At the beginning, when groceries are delivered to Jessica Fletcher, the grocery delivery boy (Neil Patrick Harris) brings in the grocery box. The name on the side of the box says "Richard's". The store where the delivery boy works reflects a different name, not "Richard's," on the store window. This is not a goof because grocery stores use any available box (normally from a delivery to the store) and not special boxes with their own store name on them. When a later deliver is made, another box with the name Vin Rose on it, happens to be used.
- Continuity: When Susan, the friend from Cabot Cove was making the food for a banquet, her hair was frazzled, & a mess, but when Jessica finds the bullet in the sugar bag, her hair is neatly coiffed & stayed that way when she brings up the signing of her cookbook.
- When Tommy was carrying the box of groceries, you tell me how he could handle the box with one hand & then use the other hand to fire a gun into the box, given that it was shown that he was carrying the box with both hands.
