DI Jack Mooney

Friendly and unassuming, Jack Mooney is often underestimated - but beneath the Irish charm there's a genius detective at work.

Understanding what makes people tick has always been instinctive to Jack. With his respectful and empathetic manner - as well as his love of a good yarn - he manages to disarm everyone he meets. Suspects may think they have the measure of him but Jack is always one step ahead. At the crime scene, Jack has a tendency to go ‘off-piste' - much to his team's bafflement - but his seemingly erratic methods can often crack a case wide open.

After the recent death of his wife, Jack is finding it hard to adjust, but - despite this - he is determined to put on a brave face for the sake of his daughter Siobhan. The prospect of a new adventure in the Caribbean was just the tonic they needed. On their arrival from cold, grey London, Jack and Siobhan were blown away by the beauty of Saint Marie. Settling into island life has its challenges, but with the help and support of his new team, Jack is soon starting to feel at home.
