Much-loved crime drama Return to Paradise is back on screens for a new season.
The BBC One spin-off of Death in Paradise returns for its third series tonight (November 6), continuing the investigations of DS Mackenzie "Mack" Clarke in the Australian town of Dolphin Cove.
This season begins after the unexpected departure of pathologist Glenn Strong, with Mack immersing herself in complex new cases alongside Senior Constable Colin Cartwright.
They investigate a series of challenging murders, including an artist stabbed in plain sight and a wildlife worker killed in a locked cage.
A synopsis for series 3 reads: "DS Mackenzie Clarke is back, fresh from having wrecked another of Glenn’s weddings and determined never to follow her heart again.
"But ignoring her heart won’t be easy.
"The arrival of her force-of-nature mother Jillian puts Mack's mettle to the ultimate test and there's something undeniable about the raffish charm of the new pathologist Leo.
"And as for Glenn, who has gone away to ‘find himself’, well that's a whole other puzzle for Mack to try and solve...
"And, while Dolphin Cove may still look like paradise, it continues to serve up a steady stream of baffling murder mysteries – from the artist stabbed in full view of the public, to the wildlife worker dead in a locked cassowary cage.
"Mack will solve it all with her usual brilliance, and the off-beat help of her loyal team."
