Returning: Death In Paradise

Here come more fish-out-of-Caribbean-water tales for Det. Richard Poole  as season two of Death In Paradise kicks off this Saturday night on ABC1.

More impossible murders on a beautiful Caribbean island. DI Richard Poole (Ben Miller) and his team are on the case again, but will he ever learn to love paradise?

DI Richard Poole is still trapped on the small Caribbean island of Sainte-Marie where the sun, sea and sand continue to irritate, just as he irritates his long-suffering colleagues. Always most at home when he’s at work, Richard’s eye for detail and his incisive mind remain as sharp as ever – and the brilliantly instinctive DS Camille Bordey (Sara Martins) is able to fill in the blanks whenever the vagaries of human behaviour baffle her Inspector.

Whilst their opposing left brain/right brain approach to life can – and frequently does – cause personal conflict between Richard and Camille, it’s also what makes them a crime-fighting force to be reckoned with – a force that is challenged by some intriguing and enigmatic murders over a new series of mind-boggling mysteries.

With the often unorthodox, but vital assistance of Dwayne (Danny John-Jules) and Fidel (Gary Carr), they tackle an array of unique crimes and in this first episode DI Poole investigates the murder of former sugar plantation owner Roger Seymour (James Cosmo) who is discovered with a machete in his back.

Sainte-Marie is certainly an island to keep Richard and his team on their feet, and viewers guessing at every twist and turn.
