Death In Paradise

In the wake of his father's death, Benedict Dacre (Robert Portal, pictured) rules the roost at the Paradise Skies Coffee plantation - but all is not plain sailing. Soon after he breaks the news to his family that it is time for them to move on and sell the plantation, Benedict is found murdered.

DI Jack Mooney (Ardal O’Hanlon) and the team must navigate the tempestuous waters of a family divided, as the Dacres fall under suspicion following the shooting at their home.

Family tensions start to unravel when Benedict’s sister, Ciss Dacre (Anna Chancellor), her son Owen (Louis Greatorex), Benedict’s new American realtor wife Ricki (Susy Kane), his spoilt daughter Ruth (Margaret Clunie), and loyal housekeeper Josephine (Sara Powell) all fall under suspicion.

Elsewhere Ruby (Shyko Amos) is settling in well and reveals to JP (Tobi Bakare) that she was once arrested, much to his horror. Has she put her own job at risk? And Florence (Josephine Jobert) and Patrice (Leemore Marrett Jr) think they have found the perfect wedding venue - but they are in for a nasty surprise.

Meanwhile Commissioner Selwyn (Don Warrington) challenges DI Mooney on the rise of illegal crab racing in bars across the island. But is Jack more involved than he is letting on?
