One Good Bid Deserves a Murder - S2-E17

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Jessica's publisher at the beginning of the party holds her hand and kisses it, he is holding her hand in different ways in the separate shots. (00:18:20)
The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Mr. Giles holds the telephone as he interrogates the private eye, who answers in a rather defiant way to the threat of "the local constable" getting involved. So Giles puts the receiver down, but notice that in the first shot he is passing it from the right to the left hand. In the close-up it is the right hand to hang up, though. (00:23:15)
The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: During the scene at the train station, Jessica's nephew introduces to her Kitt Donovan from the publishing company. Just as he says "in public relations", a man pops in the foreground - it is an extra that walks out of the rail car. In the reverse shot that follows, the same extra is only then coming out of the train. (00:09:35)
The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Episode 1-0, "The Murder of Sherlock Holmes"; Mr. Giles opens the door of the antechamber of his office, finally putting an end to Jessica's long wait. Grady right away at the first click of the lock takes his hands off his pockets and tidies up his sleeves. But in the next shot when Grady actually enters and talks to the secretary, Grady is still with his hands on his pockets repeating the gesture. (00:10:10)
Another Killing in Cork - S11-E20
Continuity mistake: In the opening exterior shot of the train, it has at least six brown and green carriages. However, in the next exterior shot, the train is made up of three brown and cream carriages.
Plot hole: When Beverly is killed the killer shuts off the main power switch which would have turned all the lights off in the house, not just those in the bathroom. (01:31:00)

Character mistake: Ottawa is misspelled "Ottowa" on Nicholas Jenson Davis wanted picture.
Continuity mistake: When Ron Moody runs into the sea in pursuit of a suspect trying to escape, he shouts at Jessica to "Get the package!" In the next shot we see Jessica reluctantly follow him in, with a clear waterline from a previous take showing on her dark overcoat/cloak.
Murder of the Month Club - S11-E10
Factual error: When Joellen removes the manuscript from the locker at the Yonkers bus station, you can see the address it was originally mailed too. The zip code is 10205. This is incorrect. All Buffalo, NY zip codes start with "14xxx" a zip code starting with "10xxx" would be much further down state.
Visible crew/equipment: When Trish picks up Jessica at the train station and her car leaves, filming equipment and crew members are reflected in the windows.
Funeral at Fifty-Mile - S1-E22
Other mistake: It's a clear day not a stormy night as it should be when showing the barn in the flashback. Look closely and you can see a clear sky through the barn walls cracks.

Visible crew/equipment: In almost every scene involving Dr. Seth, set lights are reflected in his glasses.

Continuity mistake: When Ballinger's daughter is unpacking her groceries, she places a bunch of carrots and two styrofoam trays on the right side of the counter. When she unpacks the bread, the trays and carrots have suddenly shifted to the left, right next to the fridge. As she walks to the table, the shot is the first one with the food away from the fridge and the bread is gone.
Answer: At the start, Edward told Jessica that he loved the changes she'd made to her new book. Later, as his mental condition declined, he said the book was terrible and he wouldn't publish it until she made improvements. Edward's later note to Jessica was to apologise for saying her novel was bad and that he had been right about it the first time.
