Смерть в раю Murder on the Plantation (2011– ) Online

DI Poole and DS Camille Borday investigate the murder of plantation owner Roger Seymour who is found in his one-time sugar mill. The Seymours were major employers at one time but they had a reputation for not treating their workers very well. Now, Seymour was looking to turn his mill into a museum. He had recently divorced his wife Nicole and both she and their nephew, Alex Seymour, object to his relationship with the pretty young Kim Neville. All of them were within sight of one another when the killing took place, but Poole's discovery of an underground tunnel and a link to events long ago lead him to the killer. Meanwhile, Camille's mother is still trying to find her a man and sets her up on another blind date.

I have to be honest I look at this time in Death in Paradise's history as one of its best spells. After a successful first series, everyone has settled brilliantly into their roles, and the writing just got better and better.

The fact that they were able to attract Stephanie Beacham, James Cosmo and Tom Ward is no accident, over 8 million tuned in to watch it.

I really like the story, as light as it is in parts, it's very well balanced with a much darker side, the topic of slavery in the Carribbean.

Exciting, dramatic and clever, a classic episode. 9/10

One of the things I love most about Death in Paradise is it's similarity to Jonathan Creek - that is, focusing on a single, baffling mystery, and revealing it to have a simple yet unseen answer. This episode failed on that front.

Firstly, the 'JOH' at the crime scene. The officers seemed adamant that the victim must've wrote it, rather than the killer to put blame on Dr Johnson. Next, the resolution of the name was plain and boring - it wasn't JOH in 'Johnson', but JOH in 'Johan'. Exchanging it from one name to a very similar name was a dull move, that wasn't up to the par of the series thus far.

Similarly, Poole was certain that the glass shard came from a torch, which flew directly in the face of all evidence, rather than, say, a pair of glasses, or a bottle. Why? For plot, of course!

The other resolution of the tunnels was ultimately redundant - why would the escape tunnel lead to the mill? Not to mention the vanishing girl every time the plot lulled, and the rather obvious legend of the plantation.

Overall, a disappointing start to the series.
