About this listen

Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself...

Here you will find the complete Father Brown stories in the chronological order of their original publication.

  • The Innocence of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 1,
  • The Wisdom of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 13,
  • The Donnington Affair Starts at Chapter 25,
  • The Incredulity of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 26,
  • The Secret of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 38,
  • The Scandal of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 48,
  • The Mask of Midas Starts at Chapter 57.

Mystery Maven

I hesitated to write this review. I so enjoy these stories, so that is covered. I cannot enjoy Mr. Scalon’s narration. He doesn’t inflect any changes for each character, although he has good diction.

Not quite what I was hoping for

I enjoy the series but found the reading rather dry and dull. I guess I just had my heart set on feeling the same enjoyment I do of the TV series.

Worthy of several listens

Excellent narration: various inflections to distinguish characters, as well as specifically identifying them. I couldn't wait to hear the next story (and there are many). There is also humor sprinkled throughout. I know I will listen to each story several times, because they are detailed and involved.

Well done

The performance was well done and the stories great! The American accent is hard to listen to, but I got through it:)

Too many audio glitches

The last 4 hours won’t play! I love the stories but it was painful to try to get through the audio glitches.

Excellent narration of complete collection of stories

The narration of these justly famous stories is excellent and makes the already interesting and compelling aspects the characters and plots more plain.

Good but not Great

While GKC is deserving of many accolades, writing not the least, writing murder mysteries are not that which elevates him above the common and on occasion, juvenile and even vulgar. AC Doyle sets the standard, peaks the interest, holds the attention, and leaves the reader desiring more.

This is an amazing collection of the Father Brown Mysteries. I love listening to this book and will repeat it. Every chapter is a complete mystery so it is easy to stop and start the book. This will be a treasure in your library
