Innocence of Father Brown (AmazonClassics Edition), The

Diminutive, bespectacled, and endearing, Father Brown only appears unworldly. But the cherubic parish priest is privy to the inner workings of the most surprising of sinners. And as an amateur sleuth, he intuits motives for Essex’s unsolvable crimes.

One of the most beloved characters in twentieth-century detective fiction, the kindly cleric leverages his unrivaled insights into human nature to decipher twelve ingenious mysteries from the witty and clever mind of G. K. Chesterton.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Innocence of Father Brown, this edition of The Innocence of Father Brown (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
