Series from 2011
Welcome to the idyllic island of Saint Marie. With its beautiful tropical charm, you might mistake it for paradise...until you see its murder rate.
When a British Cop is found murdered in a locked room on the tiny paradise island of Saint-Marie, Detective Inspector Richard Poole is sent to investigate. He's the perfect man to solve the case - if only he didn't just hate sun, sea and sand.
As DI Richard Poole desperately searches for a decent cup of tea, a bride is murdered on her wedding day. It is a tragedy DS Camille Bordey can't help but notice, whilst Richard is more interested in housekeeping signs. But who would kill a bride on her wedding day? Could it really be one of her family?
When a woman not only predicts her own murder but also gives a description of the murderer, it all feels too easy for DI Richard Poole. Can a case from the past help solve the present day murder? And more importantly, can Richard convince the team that it has nothing to do with voodoo spirits?
A confession of murder proves problematic for DI Richard Poole and the team when a wife admits to killing her husband but the body is nowhere to be found. Can Richard solve the mystery? And could his feelings be clouding his judgment?
A murder investigation becomes more than personal for Richard when the victim is murdered while handcuffed to him! With his job on the line, he needs all his British rigour and stoutest brogues to get to the heart of the Paradise Beach mystery...
With Richard struck down by a tropical disease and Camille in Paris, it is left to Dwayne and Fidel to solve the apparently impossible murder of a local diver. As if their job isn't tough enough, they also have to contend with holidaying British cop DS Angela Young and they thought Richard was annoying...
