MURDER MOST BIZARRE

With more than 70 killings over the past ten years, Saint Marie is one of the most murderous places on Earth, despite its tiny size. An air hostess, a hen party bride, a treasure hunter... the victims have been a varied bunch, and the ways they’ve met their maker have been just as quirky. There was

an electrocution in a swimming pool and we’ve seen poisonings from rare frogs, people being shoved off cliffs, and one murderer who killed his allergy-suffering victim by removing the adrenaline from his epipen. A favourite method of administering poison is on the back of a stamp. The detectives are often stumped by doors that have been locked from the inside or watertight alibis, and it’s the intriguing puzzle they must solve to nab the culprit that makes the show so popular. And the fact they always manage to do it in an hour.
