The culinary technique here is classical French, but then Guadeloupean chef Jimmy Bibrac uses Caribbean ingredients and spices, grown in his garden nearby, to create a “cuisine gastronomique créole”. My lamb was served with a passion fruit sauce and a pumpkin purée, and I followed with a “péché mignon” (a “little sin”), a rum-touched Chantilly with a confit of hibiscus petals. I finished up chatting to him, a glass of fruit-flavoured rum in hand, about Caribbean life, cuisine and everything. In a convoluted, quite French, way, we concluded that creole is something more than the sum of its visible parts. According to a Radio Times article in 2018, "From Australia to Russia to India, stretching across 236 territories, this British crime comedy-drama has become a global phenomenon."

While Death in Paradise has continued to be in the top three most popular programmes on British television, critics have called the crime drama "unremarkable" and "an undemanding detective show, with nice Caribbean scenery." [11] All these books contain the key elements which make up the classic mystery—a wily hero, a crime that is usually a murder, adversity, danger, and a satisfying resolution. The setting in the islands and sometimes at sea in the Caribbean adds a final enhancing element—an enticing location. The show is known for its formulaic approach to its plots [12] with each episode roughly the same in length, style and narrative structure. Each episode begins with a pre-credits sequence showing the events leading up to a murder and often the discovery of the body afterwards; this sequence also serves to introduce that particular episode's guest characters. [13] The police force of Saint Marie is subsequently informed of the murder, preliminary investigations and interviews take place to establish the suspects, and photographs of the suspects and crime scene are placed on the whiteboard at police headquarters. [14]As for the impact on the region’s economies, estimates by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) show that the cost of gang-related crime is between 2.8 per cent and 4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the region through both the cost of policing and as a result of lost income from youth incarceration and reduced tourism. Series 4 (2015) averaged 9.03 million viewers. Based on consolidated figures, each episode was among the top three most-watched programmes of the day and in the top ten of the week. [ citation needed] Under the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, signed in 1993, the United Nations (UN) defines violence against women as “ any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.” I find that every island I go to is very different to the previous one,” he told me. “St Maarten is like a Caribbean Magaluf, really, and I’m planning to visit Dominica and St Barts.” Death in Paradise is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, described in Episode 3.3 as a "pretty island" that is "situated in the Eastern Caribbean Sea." In episode 4.5, it is mentioned that Martinique is "a good 70 miles." Saint Marie is "one-tenth the size of its north-west neighbour Guadeloupe"; this would make Saint Marie about 63 square miles (160km 2) in size. Saint Marie is a British Overseas Territory, but about 30% of its people are French, due to previous history, with the language still widely spoken.
