Death in Paradise spoilers follow.

Tonight's (February 3) episode of Death in Paradise saw a shock cliffhanger after Neville and Sophie finally reunited.

As the group investigated the death of Vincent Petit, the owner of a successful construction company, Selwyn attempted to reconnect with his long lost daughter Andrina.

Following the conclusion of the murder investigation, which saw carer Marianne found guilty of Vincent's murder after he threatened to come clean about their relationship while he was under her care, Neville is surprised by Sophie at Saint-Marie's harbour.

However the reunion took a surprise turn, which has once again left fans concerned for Neville's safety. The pair headed back to Neville's house to drop off Sophie's bags, only to find his place broken into and completely ransacked.

"What on earth?!" said a confused Neville, in shock at the scene in-front of him. The break-in came as a surprise to viewers, who were quick to react to the cliffhanger.

"So the only time he locks the shack it gets broken in to?!?" one viewer noted, while several other fans were quick to identify potential suspects.

"I have a feeling Andy has something to do with the break-in," another fan speculated, while someone else theorised that Robert Webb's character could also be involved.

The break-in wasn't the only strange occurrence to happen to Neville throughout the episode either. Earlier on he was confused at the sudden disappearance of his mobile, only to conveniently find it seconds before Sophie's arrival.

"I'm sure I checked in here," Neville said after discovering the phone in his bag, seemingly suggesting that whoever was responsible for the break in had also stolen his phone.
