Plot hole: The author uses a typewriter and avoids technology. His fake identity was built on a laptop kept on another island. But in the big reveal, her guilt is predicated on her having seen the laptop to find out he was leaving her.
Death in Paradise (2011)
1 plot hole in Written in Murder - chronological order
Episode #1.5 - S1-E5
Plot hole: Leon Hamilton is the most hated man in Sainte Marie, with over 900 people on the island conned by him. Yet exactly one person in the whole island knows how he looks like, every newspaper and website never ever published a picture of him even during the very public trial when they were trying to get their thousands of dollars back nor publish an archive picture after his death.
Episode #1.7 - S1-E7
DI Richard Poole: Everyone had a motive.
Neville : Ahem, you missed someone.
DI Richard Poole: No.
Neville: Me!
DI Richard Poole: Well, you didn't do it...
Neville: Could have!
DI Richard Poole: Really? What was your motive?
Neville: He owed me money?
DI Richard Poole: Did he?
Neville: No.
[DI Richard Poole sighs, shakes his head and moves on]. (00:46:05)
Trivia: A bit of the episode has been cut for the streaming releases; at the end of the scene with Humphrey taking Martha's luggage, he would make a date with her for the next day, to cook dinner for her at 8. This has been eliminated probably because it created timing issues with 8 PM being too well lit (in contrast with the supposed timing of the murder) and the ending takes place at Catherine's for a cute drinking scene anyway. (00:22:50)
Question: Why did the cord on the wall phone in the police station change from straight in the early episodes to coiled later?
