DI Jack Mooney and his team are back on the picturesque island of Saint Marie for season 7 of Death in Paradise, investigating more complex and intriguing crimes. In episode 4, the team must solve a baffling murder mystery that occurs in a wildlife reserve.

The episode opens with DI Jack Mooney and his team beginning their day at the station. They receive a call from a panic-stricken man who claims to have witnessed a murder in the wildlife reserve. The victim is a birdwatcher named Jean-Pierre, who was found dead in the reserve. The team rushes to the scene to investigate the crime.

As they begin their investigation, they learn that the main suspects in the case are the victim's friends who were with him on his birdwatching trip. The suspects include a couple named Nick and Caroline, and another birdwatcher named Marcus. The couple claims that they were following the victim to see an elusive bird when the crime took place, while Marcus, who seems to be carrying a secret, says that he was on the lookout for an endangered bird.

The team also learns that competition is fierce among birdwatchers, and some are willing to do anything to get their hands on a rare bird. They also discover that the victim had a history of competing with his friends, which further complicates the case.

As their investigation progresses, the team is led on a wild goose chase with a number of red herrings thrown in, but they persist in their efforts to solve the mystery. They also learn that the victim was part of an amateur ornithologist club called Club 100, which may hold the key to the murder.

He misses his daughter who has returned to university back home in the UK, and he tries to navigate his new role as team leader.

As the case evolves, the team races against time to solve the crime before the killer strikes again. They must unravel the twisted web of motives and uncover the real killer behind the murder.

The stunning backdrops of Saint Marie never fail to mesmerize, as the team attempts to unravel this perplexing case. With the story slowly unfolding and the suspense building up, Death in Paradise season 7 episode 4 is a must-watch for all murder mystery fans out there.
