Commissioner Selwyn may run into an issue in next week’s episode of D.e.a.t.h in Paradise, based on first-look images – and judging by the description of what’s to come, it might be quite the rocky road.

While it may be Valentine’s Day next Friday, things certainly aren’t romantic in Saint Marie, as another murder baffles the police force.

Episode 3 follows the d.e.a.t.h of a wellness business owner who suddenly dies from an allergic reaction at the launch of her highly anticipated skincare product.

As per the synopsis, DI Mervin “quickly deduces her d.e.a.t.h to be suspicious when, despite the presence of peanuts in her throat, the victim didn’t eat or drink anything”.

It continues: “Meanwhile, Darlene struggles to train up new officer Seb Rose as they investigate an obscure party drug that’s doing the rounds on the island.

“Tensions run high as Selwyn battles devastating news, while Mervin begins to doubt his own instincts when he uncovers compelling evidence in his mother’s case.”

Episode 3 features Sex Education’s Patricia Allison, who guest stars as Carrie.

Season 14 is Don Gilet’s first full season as detective inspector, which has been a welcome introduction according to Don Warrington.

“It’s like turning a page,” said Warrington of Gilet’s casting.

“It’s exciting because it’s a new person that brings all their characteristics to it. It’s reinvention. We as characters are reinvented by the presence of another person, so in that sense it’s thrilling.”

Élizabeth Bourgine (above) echoed the same thoughts, saying that it has been “really exciting”.

She added: “As Elizabeth, it’s great because it’s a new person. It’s very nice to discover a new person.

“And as Catherine, it’s great because she has to be different, because he’s so rude, he’s so different from the others, from Ralf [Little], from all the others.”

D.e.a.t.h in Paradise season 14 airs on BBC One and iPlayer at 9pm on Fridays.
