Death in Paradise

DI Richard Poole struggles to muster that loving feeling for the local voodoo festival celebrating romance and friendship.

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.

A storm is brewing as a hurricane heads for Saint Marie. Is the storm to blame for a death at the university, or is something more sinister afoot?

When a philanthropist is murdered in broad daylight at a charity fundraiser, DI Poole and his colleagues find themselves up against a daring opponent.
