Death in Paradise

DI Poole's learning to cope with the tropical climate and laid-back atmosphere of Saint Marie, but every day still presents a challenge for the traditional detective. When the owner of a former sugar plantation, Roger Seymour, is discovered with a machete in his back, Poole and his team have a seemingly impossible case to solve.

When a young nun is found dead in her smoke-filled bedroom, DI Richard Poole and his team are soon on the scene. What seems like a tragic accident caused by a lit cigarette soon turns into a murder investigation when Richard deduces that the nun didn't smoke the cigarette that killed her. But with her room locked from the inside, how could anyone else from the convent have committed the crime?

A body found floating in the pool presents a complex case for DI Poole's team. Everything points to suicide - the victim was going through a difficult divorce and the team find an empty pill bottle in her room. But Richard is not content with this hypothesis. How could the victim have drowned herself? And why would she make a cup of the world's most expensive tea yet only drink half of it?

Camille attempts to persuade Richard to take an interest in the history and folklore of Saint Marie. Richard remains focused on work.

Camille is devastated when her best friend, Aimee, a singer on a Caribbean party boat, collapses while on stage during a night of music and cocktails. Struggling to breathe, Aimee shockingly dies in Camille's arms. It seems she has been poisoned. But by whom and why?

When an English tourist is found dead in her luxury villa, strangled by her own scarf, the crime scene initially indicates a robbery gone wrong. However, shrewd Richard notes that the situation is eerily similar to a case he heard about back in London.

As Hurricane Irma approaches Saint Marie, the islanders are battening down the hatches. However, while everyone else is taking cover, the team are called to the murder scene of a young meteorologist, Leo Downs. The crime scene seems to have been staged to make Leo's death appear like an accident caused in the hurricane.

When a shot is fired at a charity fundraiser, host Malcolm Powell is found dead in his study. Malcolm's PA is certain she knows who the culprit is. However, when Richard and his team pursue the suspect, they find his abandoned car nearby with no clues as to his whereabouts or motive for killing Malcolm.
