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.

Enhance your enjoyment of the series as, for the first time, Robert Thorogood brings the characters to life on the page in an all-new locked-room mystery.

Aslan Kennedy has an idyllic life: leader of a spiritual retreat for wealthy holidaymakers on one of the Caribbean's most unspoilt islands, Saint Marie. Until he's murdered, that is. The case seems open and shut: when Aslan was killed he was inside a locked room with only five other people, one of whom has already confessed to the murder.

Detective Inspector Richard Poole is hot, bothered, and fed up with talking to witnesses who'd rather discuss his 'aura' than their whereabouts at the time of the murder. But he also knows that the facts of the case don't quite stack up. In fact, he's convinced that the person who's just confessed to the murder is the one person who couldn't have done it. Determined to track down the real killer, DI Poole is soon on the trail, and no stone will be left unturned.

A must listen for fans of the TV series and Agatha Christie crime classics featuring Marple and Poirot.

I really enjoyed the first two series of Death in Paradise and I wanted to have more of the same characters, including Richard Poole. So, as I listened I remembered Ben Miller and his colleagues and the characterisation that they bought to the TV screen. I am sure that this story would have made a great episode, but equally I felt that there was something missing, something the actors bought to the story that was not in the writing (thus the 4 stars). That said, I really enjoyed this book. It had red herrings and a sufficiently complicated narrative to keep me interested. If you liked the first two series on TV then you should enjoy this too.

Having watched all episodes of Death in Paradise on tv, I found myself visualising this story whilst listening to it. The narrator is a pleasure to listen to; he has a good selection of voices & in fact his voices for Richard & Dwayne sound so much like the actors themselves.
I have bought the three other books in this series & am looking forward to spending many more hours on Saint Marie with the ever infuriating Richard & his small team of co-stars.

An enjoyable listen

Being a massive fan of the TV series I thought I would give this book a try . I was not disappointed , as with the TV series it contained both drama and comedy and left me guessing who done it to the very end. My only criticism is that it's a shame that the cast members were unable to do the reading but Phil Fox does a decent job . a definite 5 stars from me.

very entertaining
