About this listen
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.
Supermodel Polly Carter was famed for her looks and party-girl lifestyle. Now she's dead, apparently having thrown herself from the clifftop near her home on the island of Saint-Marie. Those who knew her say Polly would never have killed herself...and when he is called in to investigate, DI Richard Poole is inclined to agree there is more to Polly's death than meets the eye.
Already fighting a losing battle against the intense summer heat of the Caribbean, Richard now faces fresh adversaries: a stream of alibis; a host of conflicting motives; and, worst of all, a visit from his mother. A frenzy which would surely allow a murderer to slip away unnoticed...yet Richard is certain that the guilty party is still on the island.
As his team closes in on Polly's household, Richard becomes convinced that the model's death was an inside job. And he's determined to prove who planned the killing of Polly Carter and why....

Lighthearted read
Storyline interesting. Voices and accents did not match actors from the series. Voice for Camille made her sound insipid, gave an impression of having no substance The characters in the series give the watcher a sense they are educated and smart. The characters in this novel did the opposite.

Enjoyable
As a big fan of the TV series, these audio books do not disappoint. The reader is excellent and the characters are great. I have listened to them all and am waiting on more coming to audio. The plots are always well written and keep you riveted to the end. Enjoy.
