Watching a Season 7 episode, “The Healer.” Not that great so far, but there’s this double-whopper of a twist that rather amused me:
Maybe neither of these would be a shocking twist in any other show, but they’re so unusual in such a formulaic, unserious show as Death in Paradise. They kind of surprised me, in a good way.
the faith-healer/most-likely suspect is not actually married to his wife—he’s actually gay, and trying to hide it from his congregation. Not only that, but neither he nor the “wife” is a believer; they’re both atheists using this faith healing scheme to con believers.
