The second series of Death
in Paradise features more impossible murders on a beautiful Caribbean
island. DI Richard Poole and his team are on the case again, but will he ever
learn to love paradise?
Ben Miller stars as DI Richard Poole who is still trapped on
the small Caribbean island of Saint-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 the 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
and Fidel, (Danny John-Jules and Gary Carr) they tackle an array of unique
murders, from ancient pirate curses and voodoo festivals to murdered nuns.
Richard also faces his first tropical hurricane (one with a name!). And in true
British style, a cup of tea is the key to a suspicious suicide.
Sainte-Marie is certainly an island to keep Richard and his
team on their toes - and viewers guessing - at every twist and turn.
Death in Paradise can
be seen on Fridays at 20h00 on BBC Entertainment channel 120 on DStv.
