A Meditation on Murder: A gripping and uplifting cosy crime mystery from the creator of Death in Paradise: Book 1 (A Death in Paradise Mystery)

Product Information

Anyone else would be rejoicing about being able to work on this tropical island paradise, but not Richard. Determined to track down the real killer, Poole is soon on the trail and he won't leave any stone unturned. True to form, at the crime scene Poole becomes obsessed with the presence of a seemingly insignificant object, a drawing pin. Aslan Kennedy has an idyllic life: leader of a spiritual retreat for wealthy holidaymakers on one of the Caribbean's most unspoilt islands, Saint Marie.

This is an absolute must read for anyone who loves the TV series, “Death in Paradise”, but it’s also easy enough to pick up even if you have never come across the show. One with an intelligent but peculiar and eccentric detective inspector who invariably solves the murder crime in the end. Information is often repeated in dialogue, in a way that would probably make sense spoken aloud, but looks like unnecessary padding when written down. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook).

I also assumed that it might take place on one of the Caribbean islands (because- Death in Paradise). What if the carving knife we found by the body is a double bluff and the killer used this tiny drawing pin to stab the victim to death? Some of these I spotted and some I did not and even the ones I did spot I didn’t properly remember them to fit them into the case as I went along. I have always enjoyed watching the BBC series Death in Paradise, particularly the early series with Ben Miller as DI Richard Poole so was quite thrilled when I received a review copy of A Meditation on Murder – the first novel by its creator Robert Thorogood. A must read for fans of the TV series and Agatha Christie crime classics featuring Marple and Poirot.

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. Wow our reading has seriously been in tune this year as I think we have read two books the same this year already.It was - complete with characters I enjoy, especially Detective Inspector Richard Poole, a homesick Brit, a fish out of water, but with great detecting skills, his young detective sergeant Camille Bordey and her amusing reactions to Poole, Officer Dwayne Myers, older and a bit of a cynic, and Poole's resident lizard Harry at his shack on the beach. addressing the legacy of slavery, treating Vodun as a serious religion, and condemning the actions of British colonists and French settlers in the Caribbean.

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.
