In fact, he's convinced that the person who's just confessed to the murder is the one person who couldn’t have done it.

When the publishers Harlequin asked me if I'd like a copy of A Meditation On Murder I nearly bit their hands off, I have watched the television series, Death In Paradise, from the beginning ,seduced by the echoes of Agatha Christie's construction of a mystery coupled with the beautiful setting on the Caribbean island of Saint Marie. If you are a fan of the BBC/Netflix show A Death in Paradise, then reading this book would def be the most logical step. Soon after leaving Cambridge, Robert set up a theatre company that toured small theatres and schools, the highlight of which was a production of Molière's The Miser that he directed and acted in alongside Robert Webb, David Mitchell and Olivia Colman. This is one tv show that I actually advise anybody even if we have by bow arrived at the third English detective in Saint Marie and of the original crew only Dwayne and the Chief of Police remain.I didn't like the writing which I thought almost puerile at times and very repetitive - I like to be treated as a grown up when I read and would like authors to understand that I can grasp and retain information at the first time of telling. Nevertheless, Poole is not depicted as an infallible sleuth, as he does have to walk down a few dead ends before figuring out the correct solution. There is a big difference between writing a screenplay and writing a novel, and this book is case in point. Weel worth your time reading, have you not seen the show yet, go and watch it first and after you have fallen in love with them read the book (and the next two, I know I want to). An English Policeman get sent to a Caribbean Island to solve the murder of the chief detective and he gets kinda stuck there and he somewhat like a fish out of the water except this policeman is deadly afraid of water.

I also assumed that it might take place on one of the Caribbean islands (because- Death in Paradise). Richard was immediately replaced with Humphrey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall, who bumbles about treating Camille as a glorified sidekick and patronising her. This task turns out to be even more impossible when it becomes clear that they have been followed to Weeping Creek Ranch by a murderer. Now if only Thorogood can keep writing Death in Paradise novels forever with Inspector Poole and Sergeant Bordey, that would just fine with me. Murder in the Caribbean from the get-go deviates from the pattern established in books one and two in this series.Anyone else would be rejoicing about being able to work on this tropical island paradise, but not Richard.
