Official synopsis Publisher
Father Brown is only a short, stumpy Catholic priest with shapeless clothes and a large umbrella, but he has a truly uncanny insight into human evil. He is characteristically humble, and is usually rather quiet; when he does talk, he almost always says something profound. Although he tends to handle crimes with a steady, realistic approach, he believes in the supernatural as the greatest reason of all. Chesterton’s Father Brown Stories are among the most delightful mysteries, as only Chesterton could pen them. Always an unexpected plot twist to make your heart race. “Entirely satisfactory,” says Nero Wolfe.
