The Exciting Plot of the Christmas Special
The festive episode introduces DI Mervin Wilson as he takes on one of Saint Marie's most perplexing cases. Here's what we know about the plot:
Three men, seemingly unconnected but all dressed as Santa Claus, are found shot with the same gun at the exact same time. How is this even possible?
Mervin's arrival on the island isn’t without friction—he struggles to adjust to Saint Marie's laid-back lifestyle and unconventional police team. Whether he's more of a Richard Poole-style traditionalist or someone grappling with cultural quirks remains to be seen.
In addition to the main mystery, we’ll also catch up with Dwayne Myers, whose Christmas plans with his father take an unexpected turn.
Don Gilet shared his excitement, saying, "Being offered the lead role in Death in Paradise feels like an incredible honor. It’s a show with a big heart, and I’m thrilled to be part of this journey. Of course, there are moments where the tropical setting tempts me to trade detective work for a cold beer by the beach!"
