'Deftly entertaining ... satisfyingly pushes all the requisite Agatha Christie-style buttons'
Barry Forshaw, The Independent

DEATH IN PARADISE is one of BBC One's most popular series which averages 9 million viewers.

DI Richard Poole is hot, bothered and fed up. He's stuck on the tropical island of Saint-Marie, forced to live in a rickety old shack on a beach, and there isn't a decent cup of tea to be found anywhere.

When a boat explodes in the harbour, Richard and his team soon realise there's a new murderer on the loose. But who is it? And why did the killer leave behind a ruby at the scene of the crime?

As the police dig deeper, they uncover secrets that go back decades, and a crime from the past that can never be forgiven.

Worse still, they soon realise this is only the beginning. They've got to catch the killer before there's another death in paradise...

An original story from the creator and writer of the hit BBC One TV series, Death in Paradise, featuring on-screen favourite detective, DI Richard Poole.
