Secret of Father Brown

This is the fourth collection of mysteries featuring the very smart and even more devout catholic priest, Father Brown. (It follows The Innocence of Father Brown [https://librivox.org/the-innocence-of-father-brown-by-g-k-chesterton/], The Wisdom of Father Brown [https://librivox.org/the-wisdom-of-father-brown-by-g-k-chesterton/] and The Incredulity of Father Brown [https://librivox.org/the-incredulity-of-father-brown-by-g-k-chesterton-2/].) Father Brown is probably the most unconventional detective of fiction: short and dumpy, extremely shy, unvaryingly kind, and utterly unselfconscious. His secret? As a priest he has developed a far-reaching understanding of how we all feel and think. Being profoundly humble, he is able to imagine how he, personally, could be led to commit a given theft, murder or other crime. With this in mind, he is generally able to figure out who did commit it. - Summary by Kirsten Wever
