In season 4 episode 5 of Death in Paradise, titled "Episode 5," DI Goodman and his team investigate the death of a yacht owner, Charles Hesketh. The owner was found in his yacht, floating in the sea, with no apparent signs of violence. However, the team discovers that Hesketh was shot despite the lack of obvious gunshot wounds.
The investigation into Hesketh's death leads the team to the island's marina, where they learn that the victim had several enemies because of his boisterous behavior and dubious business practices. One of Hesketh’s enemies, a fellow yacht owner, Geraldine West, had a history of confrontations with him, leading her to become the prime suspect.
As the investigation progresses, the team finds that Hesketh had a secret, gambling addiction that may have led to his unsavory business dealings. The team also discovers a yacht used for gambling during clandestine events that Hesketh was involved in.
Meanwhile, Dwayne struggles with his finances and is forced to borrow money from his colleagues. In addition, Florence struggles with her emotions when she has to face a man from her past, who happens to be a key witness in the case.
As is customary with the show, the team works together to solve the case, always keeping the audience guessing until the last minute. In addition to solving the case, the episode also showcases the charming island scenery, an element that makes the show unique.
Overall, "Episode 5" is a classic Death in Paradise episode that includes a compelling investigation, characters' personal struggles, and, of course, stunning island scenery. The episode will certainly keep fans engaged and entertained as they try to piece together the clues to solve the mystery alongside the team.
