British detective inspector Kris Marshall is assigned to investigate a murder on the paradise island of Saint-Marie in the Caribbean.

BBC One has released the first trailer for the fourth season of their hit drama series Death In Paradise, which is set to premiere on Thursday January 8th at 9pm.

Created by Robert Thorogood, Death In Paradise follows DI Humphrey Goodman and DS Camille Bordey as they investigate crimes on the tropical island of Saint Marie. Death In Paradise is produced Red Planet Pictures in association with BBC Worldwide and stars Kris Marshall, Sara Martins (Little White Lies), Danny John-Jules (Red Dwarf) and Don Warrington (New Street Law). Joining the cast as regulars this season are Tobi Bakare (The Tunnel) and French actress Josephine Jobert.

The opening episode of the show’s fourth season takes a supernatural turn when plantation owner and businessman, Elias Thomson, is brutally murdered during a group séance at his home. With the door to the room firmly closed, everyone in the room is a suspect, but how did the murderer go unnoticed when all participants – including Elias’ children, Daniel and Lucy – were holding hands throughout the séance?
