Ever since I finished Midsomer Murders, I have been looking for an English detective series of comparable enjoyment. I tried several, and am very pleased to say Death In Paradise more than delivers! Ben Miller does a superb job of playing a staid, stodgy British police Inspector far out of his element on a gorgeous Caribbean island. Most notably he refuses to wear anything less than suit and tie in the 100 degree weather. There are just the right amount of funny moments along with some good mystery in each episode. Many familiar guest stars in each episode, with excellent acting all around, makes each one over too soon.

The running theme throughout Spot The Difference is DI Poole's birthday, which his team finds out about when they overhear a phone conversation with his parents. He is terrible at interpersonal relationships, and so dodges all attempts at celebration, while trying to solve the murder of a man who was killed while handcuffed to him. There are over 900 suspects to choose from.

The end is a double twist I didn't see coming. Enjoy!
