I've discovered yet another winner on Netflix--a light-hearted murder mystery filmed on the Guadeloupe Islands, The French Caribbean Archipelago.
Death in Paradise, as is essential for any good murder mystery, requires a murder each episode, but the up-tight English detective and his half-French sidekick, do what good detectives do and find the killer. The murders are not the focus, nothing gory here, but the focus is on the brilliant solving of the crime, much like the way we used to do it on the board game, Clue.
Interlaced in the solving of the crime are fascinating bits of science and the loosening up of the Englishman by the native people. Episode 3 revolves around the prediction of her own murder by a Voodoo practitioner....and that's all I'll say about that.
After seeing all the colorful houses, the marketplace, the scenery of the island, and doing a bit of online research, I'm putting Guadeloupe on my list of places to go.
