William X. Kienzle, former priest, former journalist, wrote a series of excellent mystery novels with the reluctant Father Robert Koesler as the sleuth. In each novel, one has an excellent mystery (at least none of the novels I have read have disappointed me thus far) plus one encounters some aspect of Roman Catholic Theology, which also proves itself interesting to me – not being a Roman Catholic.
In Chameleon, the hooker sister of a nun who is wearing a habit for one of her john’s fantasies is murdered. As case of mistaken identity of course, or was it? When the diocese’s financial advisor is murdered, something more is thought to be afoot.
And did you know that a married man may become a priest, but if his wife dies, he may not remarry?
Highly recommended for mystery enthusiasts and theology buffs.
