The Scandal of Father Brown
by G. K. Chesterton
Another collection of mysterious stories of G.K. Chesterton, written ingenious and lyrically, with the participation of an unpretentious little priest who solves crimes, imagines himself in the mind and soul of criminals, thus understanding their purpose. The stories are filled with paradox, spiritual insight, and a vision of the "Chestertonian fantasy," or the extraordinary in the ordinary. In the title story, a beautiful (and married) wealthy woman captures a prominent poet – and Father Brown, instead of reacting as expected, seems to be providing help. Also included are "The Fast," "Book Explosion," "The Green Man," "Persecution of Mr. Blue," "Communist Crime," "Pinpoint," "The Unsolvable Problem," and "The Village Vampire."
