Description
The unassuming Catholic priest-detective Father Brown is a master of intuition and human understanding—rather than flashy forensics—and in this definitive bundle you’ll get the full suite of his investigations, gathered in five classic collections:
- The Innocence of Father Brown (1911)
- The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914)
- The Incredulity of Father Brown (1926)
- The Secret of Father Brown (1927)
- The Scandal of Father Brown (1935)
A timeless detective – Father Brown stands apart from the usual detectives of the age. His method? Empathy, moral insight and an uncanny grasp of the human heart. In fact, he was described as “The Empathetic Detective”.
A full journey – From his first cases in The Innocence to the weightier mysteries of The Scandal, you can trace Chesterton’s evolving style, the deepening themes and the subtle reflections on faith, reason, justice and evil.
Classic roots – Written in the early 20th century, these stories laid foundations for modern mystery fiction while retaining a unique philosophical and even theological dimension.
