Father Brown of the Church of Rome
by G. K. ChestertonDescription
Personal Review (/5)
This is a unique collection of Chesterton's famous Father brown stories which puts special emphasis on the role that Brown's Catholic faith played in helping him solve the murder mysteries. The ten stories in this volume are somewhat lesser known Father Brown detective mysteries which underscore the Roman Catholic beliefs of Chesterton and his detective priest. As Dorothy Sayers once wrote, Chesterton was "the first man of our time to introduce the great name of God into a detective story...to enlarge the boundaries of the detective story by making it deal with death and real wickedness and real, that is to say, divine judgement".
