In "The Incredulity of Father Brown," G.K. Chesterton treats us to another set of bizarre crimes that only his "stumpy" Roman Catholic prelate has the wisdom and mindset to solve. As usual, Chesterton loves playing with early twentieth-century class distinctions, "common-sense" assumptions, and the often anti-Catholic biases of his characters. He loves showing, through his characters, how those who hold themselves superior to the "fantasies" of Brown's Catholic faith themselves devolve into superstitious blithering when faced with the tiniest of mysteries.

In this collection, Brown finds himself as the main event at his own funeral (The resurrection of Father Brown), contemplating the possibility of death from the sky (The arrow of heaven), piercing the mystery of a dog's "prophetic" behavior (The oracle of the dog), and facing off against a curse hanging about a medieval burial (The curse of the golden cross). A collection of excellent tales from one of the finest British mystery writers.

The reader is competent but lacks the range of a more accomplished actor. And when he makes a mistake he re-reads what he’s just read & the mistake isn’t edited out which is really annoying. I also hadn’t appreciated how ‘preachy’ Chesterton is! There’s quite a lot about spirituality and religion which sits oddly within the setting of a crime novel. I think the BBC dramatisations are definitely more entertaining.
