A Detective Outside of His Box By Acute Observer The Incredulity of Father Brown, Chesterton"Sherlock Holmes" analyzed physical evidence then used deductive reasoning to solve a crime. Fr. Brown observed people and used inductive reasoning to solve a crime. Brown tries to think as the criminal would to solve a crime. If you can discover the motive then you can discover the perpetrator. It works very good in fiction. You read a description of the events as seen by other people, then a solution follows. The clues are subtle and based on people's actions, the ending is often surprising. Most written stories don't reveal the ending until the last pages or chapters. These stories are always entertaining and amusing, even if some details are now extinct, or may seem improbable to modern readers.This book is dedicated to Patricia Burke.Here is the list of these eight short stories from 1923.1) The Resurrection of Father Brown. Fr. Brown was sent to a small country in northern South America. An American reporter wrote stories about him that attracted attention. At night two strangers attacked Fr. Brown, leaving him dying. The next day people see Fr. Brown arise from his coffin! It was a hoax intended for political reasons.2) The Arrow of Heaven. Three millionaires have been murdered. Fr. Brown has been asked for advice by millionaire Brander Merton. But a silent arrow has quieted Merton! Can this murder be solved? There is a surprising ending.3) The Oracle of the Dog. Colonel Druce was found stabbed in his back by an unknown hand in his summer house. Nobody was seen there. Do dogs howl when a person dies? Fr. Brown explains the actions of the dog and how it relates to the murder.4) The Miracle of Moon Crescent. Warren Wynd lives his huge apartment house. He was famous for making sound judgments on human character. Fr. Brown arrives for a visit but Wynd has disappeared from his flat! A body is found in the garden below. How could Wynd have left from a door that was watched? Few people are reliable eyewitnesses says Professor Vair. Fr. Brown explains what must have happened.5) The Curse of the Golden Cross. Six people sat in a large ship sailing from America to England. A Christian tomb from the Dark Ages was found, embalmed in a manner known to the Greeks and Egyptians but unknown in the West at that time. Professor Smail tells Fr. Brown of an old deadly threat. Is there a curse on anyone who would disturb this tomb? Who killed the Reverend John Walters? Fr. Brown explains.6) The Dagger with Wings. The last of three brothers asked for police protection. The Medical Officer asked Fr. Brown to talk to Arnold Aylmar. Fr. Brown does, then calls for 4 or 5 policemen to surround the house. Soon he hears a shot and sees a body in the snow, no footprints around it! But Fr. Brown isn't fooled by a story.7) The Doom of the Darnaways. This old family lives in a decaying house, an heir from Australia promises hope. Does a family legend guarantee a descendant's fate? No, says Fr. Brown. There is a noise from upstairs, they find a dead man. A suicide? Fr. Brown says it was murder, not from a legend. He explains how it was done by someone they overlooked.8) The Ghost of Gideon Wise. Three corporate owners plan a lock-out of their workers and will call it a strike. They send Byrne to negotiate with the union leaders. But the plans to arrest the union leaders failed as all three corporate owners were killed simultaneously at three separated places! One man has seen a ghost! Or is it real? Fr. Brown points out the effect of this confession, the reappearance of one murdered man, and how it relates to the other two murders!The last story is an example of why Gilbert Keith Chesterton was famous for his paradoxical stories and viewpoints.

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 20th 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.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). In each story, Brown's ability to see past the assumptions that stymie his companions can seem facile and repetitious. But Chesterton provides such a bevy of social insights and beautiful prose that these small annoyances are easily forgiven.Tom Whitworth ably read the audio version that I listened to, which is sadly out of production. Listen to Whitworth on audio versions of other collections of Father Brown stories.

A Solinas "The Incredulity of Father Brown" could just as easily have been called "Father Brown Goes To America," because the first half of this third short-story collection is saturated with America and Americans.But whatever side of the pond G.K. Chesterton writes about, his gnomish little priest-detective is still a font of psychological and theological know-how. "The Incredulity of Father Brown" is a bit more religiously-tinged than Chesterton's prior mystery stories, but the core of his stories is still the same -- a kindly little priest who effortlessly unravels bizarre and seemingly unsolvable mysteries.While working in a South American mission, in an unspecified country about to erupt in a revolution, Father Brown becomes a figure of interest to the United States media (mostly due to an atheist reporter's work). Shock is widespread when the little priest is clubbed to death by an unknown assailant -- only to rise from his coffin, very much alive and annoyed. Is it a miracle, or something much more mundane?His American adventures continue in the United States, when the little priest is present when a millionaire is killed by an Amerindian arrow -- supposedly caused by a cursed relic. It's not the only curse he has to deal with: a golden cross and an embalmed body pursued by a murderous stalker, a "doom" on a rather inbred aristocratic clan, and a vengeful man who seems to have demonic powers -- and a hysterical potential victim intent on using "silver magic."He also deals with a few cases that are less supernatural in theme, but still pretty befuddling -- such as a trio of millionaires murdered with a connection to communism, a seaside hotel whose disbelievers are baffled by a murder, and a dog that may (or may not) hold the key to a murder.G.K. Chesterton liked to write mysteries that were a lot simpler than they appeared to be, or else had some sort of bizarre twist at the end. Both kinds of mysteries show up in this collection of short stories, but only occasionally can readers guess what is going on, until Father Brown spells it out with some little detail of human nature, historical inaccuracy, or a simple fact of reality ("Real mystics don't hide mysteries, they revealthem").And Father Brown is a likable little guy, who looks like an everyday, shabby little rlceric and doesn't have to overwork himself to solve mysteries. It's his shrewd brain and rather childlike straightforwardness that carries him through, as well as his uncanny knowledge of human nature and and his humble religious principles ("I believe in miracles. I believe in man-eating tigers, but I don't see them running about everywhere..")If there's a flaw, it's the rather dated racial descriptions, although those were typical of the time. Chesterton's writing is absolutely exquisite, like poetry rendered down into prose ("... the pale green bitter waters of the sea, and the flowers would be drowned and strangled in seaweed"), especially in Father Brown's expeditions into ice-encased mansions, moonlit ruins and wild South American jungles.The little old priest has a lot to be amazed by in "The Incredulity of Father Brown," a short but genuinely bewildering collection of Chesterton's mysteries. Definitely worth reading, whether for the insights or the whodunnits.
