Overview
Escape to the sun-soaked island of Saint Marie with this four-book collection from Robert Thorogood, creator of the hit BBC series Death in Paradise. Following detectives stationed on the fictional Caribbean island, each novel delivers a self-contained puzzle built on classic whodunit structure: a baffling crime, a tight circle of suspects, and a meticulous investigator piecing together clues. Written by the show's original creator, these novels expand on the television series' world while standing entirely on their own as satisfying mystery fiction, ideal for fans of cozy, character-driven crime writing with a warm tropical backdrop.

About the Books
This collection gathers four of Robert Thorogood's Death in Paradise mystery novels, each set on the fictional island of Saint Marie, the tropical backdrop familiar to fans of the BBC series that Thorogood created. Rather than simple tie-in fiction, these books stand as original prose mysteries, each built around a distinct crime and cast of suspects, while sharing the island setting, the atmosphere of sun and secrets, and the procedural rhythm that made the show a hit. Readers follow the investigating detective as they interview witnesses, examine evidence, and assemble a timeline that exposes who had the means, motive, and opportunity for murder. Thorogood is known for constructing fair-play puzzles in the tradition of classic English detective fiction, where every clue is presented to the reader and the solution rewards careful attention. Saint Marie itself becomes a kind of character across the four books: a small, close-knit community where everybody knows everybody's business, yet deep secrets can remain hidden in plain sight for years. The contrast between the island's postcard beauty and darker human motives beneath the surface gives each mystery its distinctive tone, blending gentle humor with real tension. Whether read in order or picked up individually, the four novels in this set let readers spend more time in the Death in Paradise world beyond the television screen.
