Factual errors

Fleur suggests exposing Barnaby to clowns would be 'aversion therapy'. It's not. Aversion therapy is to build a dislike of something. This would be 'exposure therapy'.
Fleur is shown gently closing the wide-open eyes of one victim after death. In fact, the eyelids wouldn't have been wide open, nor would they have stayed closed if pulled down. The natural postmortem position of eyelids is partially open unless they are held in place. (This is why the old practice arose of putting coins on the eyelids of a corpse.)
Ordinary citizens cannot serve legal papers. It must be done by law officer, court deputy or official process server.
Robotic carbon dioxide gassing is done at abattoirs with high output, not at a sad one man operation with output of 2 pigs a week.

Revealing mistakes

Winter would not have handled the satchel of jewelry without gloves.
First prize for the world's most filthy meat processing abattoir.

Miscellaneous

Senseless circus without animals, 5 million hay bales and an empty birdfeeder outside circus trailers.

Plot holes
