Day of the Dead, classic Death in Paradise.
Island Celebrations on it's Day of The Dead festival turn sour when beautiful Charity worker Daisy Anderson is found dead. DI Mooney is also faced with a problem, when Harry, the Shack's resident Lizard looks distinctly off colour.
Arguably the best episode of Series 7, this felt like classic Death in Paradise. First off, whoever was in charge of the visuals for the episode needs recognition, this was a visual feast, The Day of the Dead festival looked incredible, the costumes and props were fabulous, also the fashions in the episode looked so good. My issue in recent times has been with the originality of the material, this was definitely on point, a very clever mystery, and an outcome I didn't see coming, top notch writing.
I loved how the reaction around Harry, very much an integral part of the show, added some light relief, nobody cares about the death of a beautiful young woman, but an off colour Lizard, now that's tough. Ardal seems so settled in this role, I am so pleased to see him returning for the show's eighth series.
Excellent.

Classic episode
This is a good one and the episode where Ardal O'Hanlon grew on me, at first I didn't like his take on the show but he seems to fit in so well now he may become the best detective sent from the UK yet.
Good script and lovely scenery and at last a good plot.

Someone is murdered on the day of the dead. How ironic

Murder on the Day of the Dead
A strong episode of the show, and one that certainly keeps you guessing as to who the murderer was right up until the end.
A nice original plotline, and the dynamic between Jack and Florence is coming on well. It was good to see Catherine being given a bit more to do too.
The subplot involving Harry was more entertaining than anything involving Dwayne though.
