A selection of short mysteries solved by Father Brown, written in the first quarter of the 1900s.

Father Brown is unimpressive in appearance: stubby brown hair, round face, a short, round body, wearing his black clerical garb and a quiet demeanor, makes him blend more into the surroundings. It is his ability to put bits and pieces together and solve the mysteries that come his way and bring attention to himself.

In each story, (there are ten) the clues and people involved are all given. It is the subtle items and behaviour that need to organized to come to the solution. Father Brown’s observation of the behaviour of people is the cement that holds the bits together and forms the solution.

A cozy mystery series, with a bit of an edge seems to be Chesterton’s style. Rather than come to various conclusions, Father Brown takes time, observations of physical action and what people say as the pieces of the puzzle: items that are mentioned in the story for the reader to know.

I found it interesting to see if I could come up with the solution before it was revealed. ( )
