    A great episode
    I have to be honest I look at this time in Death in Paradise's history as one of its best spells. After a successful first series, everyone has settled brilliantly into their roles, and the writing just got better and better.

    The fact that they were able to attract Stephanie Beacham, James Cosmo and Tom Ward is no accident, over 8 million tuned in to watch it.

    I really like the story, as light as it is in parts, it's very well balanced with a much darker side, the topic of slavery in the Carribbean.

    Exciting, dramatic and clever, a classic episode. 9/10
