Mallorca Files is similar to Death in Paradise in that it’s a cross between an advert for a holiday in Mallorca and a police investigation. Miranda Blake is almost a female version of Inspector Poole from Death in Paradise, an unwilling visitor to Mallorca with culture shock.

But while there are some clever and unexpected twists in the plots it’s not as Agatha Christie like as Death in Paradise. The episodes don’t end with all the suspects gathered together for the big reveal.

A pleasant blend of comedy and serious investigation.
