The Scandal of Father Brown

The character of Father Brown, a Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective, navigates a series of mysteries and crimes through his sharp intuition and deep insight into human nature. Featured in 53 short stories penned by G. K. Chesterton between 1910 and 1936, Father Brown's unique approach to solving cases reflects the author's own experiences, as the character was inspired by a parish priest who played a significant role in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism.
