Death in Paradise’s Neville receives chilling letter in first look
It's not looking good for Neville.
As another week of Death in Paradise-related fun gets under way, the upcoming episode promises to deliver a sinister turn.
In a clip released exclusively by RadioTimes.com, it seems as though an unusually quiet work day on Saint Marie could end in disaster for Neville (Ralf Little) and his small team.
As Neville and Naomi (Shantol Jackson) return after a morning delivering a speech at the local school, Neville is exasperated after a young schoolgirl appears to have cut off part of his tie. "There should be a law against children that young having scissors," he sighs.

When arriving back to the station, Darlene (Ginny Holder) tells the two officers that "Honore has been as quiet as a mouse". She hands him his stack of post, but one letter in particular gets his attention.
"Darlene? This definitely came with the post, right?", he asks. The letter reads: "A murder will be committed today," but is it just a cruel prank? Or is someone alerting Neville to a crime about to be committed?
"There has not been a peep all morning," Darlene says when asked if anyone has reported any crimes, to which Neville says: "Yeah, but today's not over yet, is it?"
Watch the clip below.
It comes after Neville has been caught up in matters of the heart with Sophie (Chelsea Edge), but viewers will also remember that he had an ominous conversation with ex-colleague DC Andrew Buckley (Kent Riley).
We saw the police officer land in Saint Marie but are yet to see him re-appear this season – will this episode mark his return? And if so, does he know or have something to do with Neville's mysterious letter?
