About this audiobook

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... Here you will find the complete Father Brown stories in the chronological order of their original publication. The Innocence of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 1, The Wisdom of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 13, The Donnington Affair Starts at Chapter 25, The Incredulity of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 26, The Secret of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 38, The Scandal of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 48, The Mask of Midas Starts at Chapter 57.

Ratings and reviews

This is excellent value for money. The audio narrator is well paced, ensuring the listener is given an opportunity to build the picture of the scene. In addition to this the audio narrator doesn't over dramatise characters yet is different enough for the listener to keep up with dialogue. The stories themselves are absolutely brilliant and I can't recommend this audio collection enough.
