The Incredulity of Father Brown


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.6 stars; 40 reviews)

Originality and humor characterize the plots of these clever detective stories. The mysteries are solved by the detective priest, Father Brown. His application of shrewd, common sense to the unraveling of a succession of strange crimes and happenings rob them of the supernatural element attributed to them by the credulous. This is the third collection of similar stories. (Summary from "The Booklist") (7 hr 4 min)

Inspired Agatha Christie & TV, too.

Interesting, but I like the PBS series better


(4 stars)

The stories are good but the portrayal of Father Brown is not very flattering.
