Death in Paradise sees DI Jack Mooney investigate the mysteriious death of a zoo owner killed by a tranquilliser dart

Here comes trouble!

As they investigate a murder at the zoo, DI Mooney (Ardal O'Hanlon) and team are also preparing for Dwayne’s replacement, the Commissioner’s niece, Ruby Patterson (played by newcomer Shyko Amos).

DI Jack Mooney signs up for a charity swim

Meanwhile, Jack has a more pressing matter on his mind: it turns out that he inadvertently signed up to a charity swim, and Catherine is determined to make him go through with it.

Look out for another bunch of great guest stars, including real-life husband and wife Jonathan Kerrigan and Shelley Conn.
