Ep 6. Episode 6

DI Goodman and his team are called to investigate the murder of Cedrik Verga, a man who has been living on the island for just a few months. His body was found in a boat far from the shore, with no sign of how he got there or who might have killed him. It quickly becomes clear that Cedrik was not quite the man he seemed, and as the team delves into his past, they discover a web of deceit and lies that might have led to his untimely death.

One suspect is Cedrik's business partner, Marcus Wilde, who clearly had a contentious relationship with him. They had been working together on a new venture, and while they seemed to be getting along at first, their disagreements may have led to a deadly confrontation. Another possibility is Cedrik's girlfriend, Dominique Baron, who also had a history of fighting with him. Lieutenant Goodman and his team must untangle the web of secrets and lies to figure out who had the strongest motive for murder.

As the investigation progresses, the team finds themselves dealing with the island's long-standing tensions between the local residents and the wealthy vacationers who come to stay. Cedrik had become involved in this conflict, taking the side of the locals and speaking out against the wealthy visitors who exert their influence on the island's economy. This added layer of complexity to the case makes it more difficult to uncover the truth about who killed Cedrik and why.

In addition to investigating the murder, DI Goodman must also deal with some personal issues that have arisen. He is struggling with his feelings for Camille, his colleague and friend, and is unsure how to proceed. Meanwhile, Sergeant Florence Cassell is still dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic experience that happened earlier in the season. Both personal issues add to the tension and drama of the episode, making it one of the most emotional and engaging of the season.

Throughout the course of the investigation, the team is led on a wild goose chase of sorts, following leads that seem promising at first but ultimately lead nowhere. They encounter a number of colorful characters along the way, including a local fisherman who may have had a run-in with Cedrik, and a group of vacationers who seem suspiciously close to the murder scene. Through it all, DI Goodman remains focused on finding the truth, no matter how difficult it may be to uncover.

The resolution of the case is surprising and satisfying, with twists and turns that keep the viewer on the edge of their seat until the very end. By the time the murderer is revealed, it becomes clear just how tangled and complex Cedrik's life was, and why so many people might have had a motive for killing him. Ultimately, Death in Paradise season 4 episode 6 is a thrilling and emotional ride, and a standout episode in an already fantastic season.
