It's that time of year when many writers start to get themselves ready for the novel in a month madness known as NanoWrimo. I've got a fair bit of work on at the moment but am thinking of writing something with an Irish, Roman Catholic priest as the main character. As most of my writing, other than the occasional poem tends to be a mystery or crime novel, then he would be that character. While I've always enjoyed the Father Brown mysteries, whether they suit a more modern context, I don't know - so I'm faced with the problem of how a modern day priest might become involved in crime solving.
Story Line
I have got a tentative storyline where an adulterous couple kills the woman's husband. Father Joe is suspicious and goes about hindering the police in the execution of their duty, while at the same time working on his own to find the answer - but I'm not yet fully convinced whether this would work, which is why I'm throwing it out there now,. What do you think? I'd really like to know.
