About this listen

 For fans of the hit show, Death in Paradise, comes the real story of a British detective fighting crime and uncovering mysteries in the Caribbean sun...

The Real Death in Paradise recounts the two years ex-DCI Richard Preston spent as one of the twelve young police officers sent to work on the tropical island of the Cayman Islands, in the Caribbean.

Who wouldn't love the opportunity to work in a tropical paradise, meet the locals and experience the idyllic local culture, while learning to scuba dive and buy a share in a speedboat? What could possibly go wrong...?

When faced with the reality of life in the Caribbean - including drug raids, kidnappings and mysterious murders - Richard soon found out that the truth was far more interesting than he ever could have imagined.

Follow along in the adventures in this sun-kissed memoir, for fans of the BBC show everywhere!©2025 Richard Preston (P)2025 Bonnier Books UK Americas Caribbean Caribbean & West Indies Organized Crime True Crime Crime Detective

We found this book very interesting. We first went to Grand Cayman in 93. This book was indicative of the time and brought back such memories of how Grand Cayman used to be. It’s changed so much now
