It is a story which really kept my attention – with its twists and turns and red herrings which meant that I was convinced at times that nearly all the suspects were guilty. Nevertheless, the puzzle kept me guessing until the end, with only my third option being the right one (not sure it counts when it takes that many attempts! His second in command Camille Bordey, a beautiful woman with the intelligence to match that, is always annoyed by her so quintessential English boss who at tropical temperatures still wears his woolen suit and who is so incredibly smart and a fickler for details. I was so annoyed by this by the midpoint that I started keeping a tally of the worst offender, "After all", which was used 15 times in the second half of the book. Having been relaxing with headphones and eye-masks the murder was only discovered when the apparent murderer starts screaming.
Aslan Kennedy has an idyllic life as leader of a spiritual retreat for wealthy holidaymakers on one of the Caribbean's most unspoiled islands, Saint Marie. It's unclear at this point whether the books are designed to portray an 'alternate timeline' Death in Paradise or whether they take place within the known world of the show. Poole also parallels at the end of this passage that sense of personal challenge which Poirot experience more directly with the ABC letters he is sent. A must read for fans of the TV series and Agatha Christie crime classics featuring Marple and Poirot. It brings us the characters that have woed the many viewers around the world and this time they stay somewhat langer than 50 minutes around for you to enjoy them.
This was a really enjoyable read especially, but not exclusively, for fans of Death In Paradise which is back on our screens on Thursday 8 January 2015. Some of these I spotted and some I did not and even the ones I did spot I didn’t properly remember them to fit them into the case as I went along. The book was well paced (although it could be a little shorter) with new clues presented in every chapter and the mystery preserved till the end. Un personnage principal (et secondaires) attachants, de l'humour so British - une enquête intéressante et j'aime la manière dont on rentre dans la tête du policier (je n'aime pas Hercule Poirot pour rien.
If that doesn't work, there may be a network issue, and you can use our self test page to see what's preventing the page from loading.I still watch Death in Paradise - casually, kind of - but I've never quite forgiven it for quickly and brutally dispatching Richard and then making all the other characters forget him almost instantaneously. Unfortunately that means it's just an episode of Death in Paradise dragged out to 350 pages which leads to a lot of tedious summing up of the case and repeated word-for-word reproductions of everything written on the white board, adding nothing to the story other than bulk. It was - complete with characters I enjoy, especially Detective Inspector Richard Poole, a homesick Brit, a fish out of water, but with great detecting skills, his young detective sergeant Camille Bordey and her amusing reactions to Poole, Officer Dwayne Myers, older and a bit of a cynic, and Poole's resident lizard Harry at his shack on the beach.
