“Death in Paradise” returns with another baffling murder, this time with a particularly dramatic setting. During the filming of a game show’s grand finale, a contestant is stabbed mid-air while whizzing down a zip line. Mervin and the team are called in to investigate, facing a crime scene unlike any they’ve encountered before.
As if a zip line murder weren’t complicated enough, the episode also deals with some interpersonal turbulence within the police force. Mervin surprises his colleagues by deciding to extend his stay on Saint Marie, a decision that clashes with Selwyn, who questions his motives. The episode hints that Selwyn, too, might be harboring some secrets.
“Death in Paradise” has always been a reliable source of intricate mysteries, picturesque scenery, and a touch of island charm. This episode seems to be no different, offering the usual blend of quirky characters, red herrings, and a murder that seems impossible to solve. Tune in to BBC One on Friday, February 7, 2025, at 9:00 PM to see if Mervin and the team can unravel this high-flying homicide.
