Detective Sergeant Camille Bordey is a character in the crime drama television series Death in Paradise, portrayed by Sara Martins.
A former undercover investigator, Bordey was assigned to the precinct because her cover was blown when she was arrested during DI Richard Poole's first investigation. She was the team's best investigator after Poole, often handling the computer work. Initially, she and Poole did not get along as a result of a culture clash. Over time their relationship became a friendship, and showed some hints of romance - when he briefly left Saint Marie, she admitted she admired him considerably, and was pleased when he chose to return. His murder in the opening scenes of Series 3 clearly devastated her and she was unsure about his successor, DI Humphrey Goodman, although she warmed to him over time. She was then offered an undercover job in Paris, and she decided to leave. As she left, she kissed Humphrey. She had not previously expressed emotions for him, although he had for her.
Bordey is spontaneous and enthusiastic, and has a strong sense of justice.[1] In the first two seasons she sharply contrasts with Poole, including in dress. Michael Hogan suggests that Bordey is "as underdressed as Miller is overdressed, investigating murders in vest and hotpants."[2]
