Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. DI Richard Poole has trouble adjusting to life on a Caribbean island. What does he not like about it?

Answer: Everything

Poole doesn't like Saint Marie, period. The sun, the heat, the sand, the people, the lack of mod cons, the pace of island life, you name it, he hates it.
2. When he arrives at the beachside cottage, what is immediately apparent about his predecessor, DI Hulme?

Answer: He was a slob and a drinker

The beach house is where they put up all the foreign detectives assigned to Saint Marie. Hulme was obviously a slob in the extreme, and the number of empty liquor bottles pointed a dismal picture. He also had a closet full of loud Hawaiian shirts. Camille Bordey at first claims to be Hulme's cleaning lady, which is quite ridiculous considering the state of the place.
3. Officer Dwayne Meyers is played by British actor Danny John-Jules. What cult sci-fi show is he best known for?

Answer: Red Dwarf

Danny John-Jules is beloved by British sci-fi fans as The Cat on "Red Dwarf." "Ooooowwww! I am looking GOOD!" Dwayne Meyers provides much of the comic relief on Death In Paradise.
4. When checking in with his superior back in London, what does Poole say he left in the top left-hand drawer of his desk?

Answer: A tangerine

Apparently, he thought this important for his superior to know. Perhaps to prevent it from rotting in there. It is revealed that his department threw a party when Poole left - AFTER he left. Not a popular guy.
5. What was the territorial ownership of the island of Saint Marie?

Answer: French, British, Dutch

The fictional island of Saint Marie was colonized by the French, who lost it to the British, who lost it to the Dutch, who lost it back to the French, who then gave it back to the British in the 1970's. Much of the population of Saint Marie speaks French.
6. What is the most unique feature of the beach house where the visiting British DI's live?

Answer: There's a tree growing in the middle of it

The beach house does have a four-legged resident in the form of Harry, a CGI lizard who all the DIs talk to, but by far the most original feature is the tree growing up through the middle of the main room.
7. What song is the ringtone on DS Lily Thomson's phone?

Answer: I Shot the Sheriff

"You're Wondering Now" is the name of the theme song of "Death In Paradise." DS Thomson's ringtone proves to be a bit of foreshadowing.
8. Marlon Collins is arrested while playing basketball. He appears again years later in season 13. What is his crime?

Answer: Stealing yachts

While there is a goat seemingly in search of an owner staying in one of the cells at the Honore police station, Marlon Collins is banged up for stealing yachts. He will reappear in season 13 as the manager of a yacht club, trying to mend his ways.
9. What is the name of DI Poole's favorite local pub back in London?

Answer: The White Hart

Poole describes sitting in the White Hart on a freezing winter day, tucked up with a pint as an image of London that gives him comfort. Catherine's Bar is the Honore watering hole where the constabulary hangs out after hours.
10. What type of book is found on DI Hulme's body?

Answer: A travel guide

Although the incriminating ledger is the book Hulme was originally holding, it was swapped for the travel guide by the killer, so that is the book his body was discovered with.
