Death in Paradise: Christmas Special 2023

BBC One - Death in Paradise, Christmas Special 2023

A woman mysteriously vanishes on the same night a man falls to his death.

When a CEO falls to his death one night, things take an even stranger turn when his house guest mysteriously vanishes, prompting her fiancé to fly out on a rescue mission.

It’s Christmas in the Caribbean and Neville’s larger-than-life mum, Melanie, is in town. She quickly assimilates herself in with the rest of the team, but she’s disheartened to see how down on romance Neville is, given everything he’s been through the past two years. Can she instil some festive cheer in her unlucky-in-love son?

Elsewhere, a wealthy business owner called Gerry is found dead at the bottom of a ravine. It could just be an accident, but Gerry’s ominous last words – ‘It’s behind you’ – suggest something more is going on. And things take an even stranger turn when the team discover that the family’s house guest has mysteriously vanished, prompting her fiancé to fly out on a rescue mission.
