Torrent Death In Paradise Season — 3

The season begins with the unexpected murder of DI Poole during a university reunion on the island. This bold narrative choice was controversial among fans, with some finding it "mean-spirited" for such a lighthearted show, while others appreciated the "full-circle" drama of a new detective arriving to solve his predecessor's murder.
