Perfect for you if...

You enjoy traditional whodunits with a puzzle to solve and multiple suspects with conflicting stories.
You like crime fiction set in exotic locations where the beauty masks darker secrets.
You watch shows like Midsomer Murders and Death in Paradise and want more of that cosy-but-clever detective work.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer hard-boiled crime fiction with graphic violence and morally grey protagonists.
You need fast-paced action scenes rather than methodical detective work and suspect interviews.
You find fish-out-of-water British characters in tropical settings more annoying than charming.

About this book

When supermodel Polly Carter is found dead at the foot of a cliff, her death initially appears to be suicide. However, DI Richard Poole, a British detective inspector, has doubts. Carter's friends insist she would never have taken her own life, pointing to her fame and active social lifestyle. Poole, temporarily assigned from London to the Caribbean island of Saint Marie, is already struggling with the intense heat. As he works to untangle the conflicting motives and alibis of multiple suspects, his investigation becomes further complicated by a visit from his mother. This is the second novel in the Death in Paradise Mystery series.
