Trivia
When Sam is in the hospital looking for information, she pilfers a lab coat with a picture ID and talks to a nurse who should clearly notice it. An instant later she is walking down a corridor ID free!

Goofs
The show's central location, "The Mystery Woman Bookstore", only sells mysteries and thrillers according to its owner. When the camera pans the shelves, the readable titles include, "The Handbook of Practical Psychology", "The Great White Lie", "The Hite Report" and the "The Firestone Story" - all of which are non-fiction. Though you might consider some of those topics thrilling or mysterious, it appears the shelves have been dressed with random used books.

Connections
Followed by Mystery Woman: Game Time (2005)

Murder at the health spa

Kellie Martin former ADA and now bookstore proprietor with Clarence Williams,III has landed herself a new job at a spa. But it's all a blind as she is doing a little unofficial investigating of a woman who died at the spa and Martin suspects foul play. That's not going to make police chief Casey Sander happy as he really hates people showing up his cops, even former law enforcement. Of all the people in those Hallmark mystery series films Sander and Martin definitely have the worst relationship.

The spa is run by Charles Shaughnessy formerly of the Nanny and he's almost a caricature really buying into all the line of hype he uses to bring in the customers.

Key to all this is Felicia Dean who as a juvenile helped mom and grandma in a phony psychic gypsy racket. But she actually may have abilities. In any way someone doesn't want to take that chance.

Nicely done, especially the climax trap where the murderer is revealed and caught.
