This article is about the television series. For the film, see Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise.
Death in Paradise is a BBC detective drama series aired since January 2011. The show is set on the small fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, where a power-sharing agreement between the British and French governments leads to a British Detective Inspector being appointed to run the police station in the island's capital of Honore. The show takes on a more light-hearted tone compared to typical gritty BBC detective dramas, using the "locked room" format of classic murder mystery detective stories. It is aired at the beginning of the year so as to help relieve the January blues.
The following weapons were used in the television series Death in Paradise (TV series):
