Description
|
|
|
|
Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself—a detective very much in the mold of his creator. The Complete Father Brown Stories brings together all the stories featuring G.K. Chesterton's amateur sleuth, with two additional cases: "The Donnington Affair," in which Chesterton rises to the challenge of solving a murder mystery half written by someone else (Max Pemberton), and "The Mask of Midas," which was found in Chesterton's papers after his death.
