- TriviaSheriff Metzger complains that Cabot Cove has had five murders since he became sheriff, referring to the events in Mr. Penroy's Vacation (1988), Weave a Tangled Web (1989), Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble (1989), and The Sins of Castle Cove (1989).
- GoofsEarly in part 1, Hank Shipton is in the bathroom with his son and is seen giving his insulin in his hand, as if it was an intravenous injection. When a diabetic gives themselves insulin, it is subcutaneous ( under th skin in the fat layer) in the stomach, outer thigh or back of the upper arms, not in the fat-less wrist as shown here.
- Quotes
Sheriff Mort Metzger: I said, "Do me a favor, please, and tell me what goes on in this town."
Jessica Fletcher: Sheriff, I'm sorry, but...
Sheriff Mort Metzger: I've been here one year. This is my fifth murder. What is this? The death capitol of Maine? On a per capita basis, this place makes the South Bronx look like SunnyBrook Farm.
Jessica Fletcher: But I assure you Sheriff...
Sheriff Mort Metzger: I mean, is that why Tupper quit? He couldn't take it anymore? Somebody really should have warned me, Mrs. Fletcher. Now- Now, perfect strangers are coming to Cabot Cove to die. I mean, look at this guy. You don't know him. I don't know him. He has no ID. We don't know the first thing about this guy.

Written by John Addison
Soon after arriving, Eudora dopes Jessica...making her sleep very soundly. During this time Jessica is knocked out, a murder is committed. You can only assume Eudora is responsible. After all, she drugged Jessica and stole a copy of her latest book! By the end of the episode, a beloved character in Cabot Cove is poisoned and is on the verge of death!
So much happens in this episode....and it's very exciting. Additionally, Simmons did a great job playing this evil writer. Well worth seeing.
