Detective Inspector Jack Mooney is a fictional character on the British–French crime drama television series Death in Paradise, portrayed by Ardal O'Hanlon.

Character[]

Mooney is portrayed as "friendly" and "unassuming", and an underestimated "genius detective".[1] Ed Power for The Independent described the character of Mooney as a rarity amongst modern portrayals of detectives on television in that his "personal life is not a distracting mess".[2]

Appearances[]

Mooney first appears in Man Overboard – Part One (Series 6, Episode 5), as a liaison officer assigned to DI Humphrey Goodman.[3]

A subplot follows Mooney's daughter Siobhan leaving the island for university in the United Kingdom.[4]

Another subplot follows Mooney's romance with Anna (portrayed by Nina Wadia), a newly-divorced traveller visiting Saint Marie.[5]

Mooney's last appearance is in Pirates of the Murder Scene (Series 9, Episode 4), when he decides to return home to London with his daughter Siobhan.[6]
