Eh, that's how the "cozy" murder mystery genre runs, some random caterer, housewife, or bookshop owner who lives in a small town happens to have 20-30 of their nearest and dearest horribly murdered, and between including recipes in the books, nails the murderer ahead of the police every single time! Mystery fans just accept the ludicrousness of it all if they like the book, because they're just having a bit of fun and not studying for a PhD.
Except the books are a lot more complex and interesting than an episode of this show, which pays homage to all the cliches of the genre without having the time to build a solid story to support the cliches. So the show can play like a parody of the mystery genre.
