No more murder in the library with a candlestick by Professor Plum, that's for sure... try drowned in a fishtank, electrocuted in a swimming pool or poisoned with a puffer fish.
It's Death in Paradise - murder most fanciful and fun. And it's back with a belter on Sunday in its 100th episode.
Ralf Little, who plays DI Neville Parker, is pinching himself. "For me to have been here and be lucky enough to lead a stellar cast and be trusted with this legacy is something I can't believe, he says. "I feel like I've won the lottery.
The new series of the BBC hit, which holds back on the blood and guts and goes big on quirky characters and bumbling Brits, opens with a life-ordeath situation for one of its original and most beloved characters.
Commissioner Selwyn Patterson Rising Damp's Don Warrington - is marking his half-centenary in the police when a mystery attacker shoots him. DI Parker must solve the crime.
Joining Ralf and Don in the 100th episode is Oscar winner Hayley Mills.
Ralf, 43, admits: "She's the one person I got starstruck by and had to get a photo with, she was just glorious. She's been at the top of the film industry. She won an Oscar when she was a kid, Whistle Down the Wind is one of my favourites."
She's not the only famous face to grace the show over the There is years and maybe murder, I meet a wicked and very imaginative end.
Friends and Cold Feet star Helen Baxendale was the ultimate frenemy when she drove an ice pick into the chest of the show's original DI Richard Poole, played by Ben Miller. He was followed in the role by Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman, Ardal O'Hanlon as DI Jack Mooney and finally Ralf.
