A propos du livre

Críticas

David Timson is one of those audio-book readers who, rather than giving a signatureA" performance like some of the big stars of the genre, simply inhabits and projects his subjects with a delicate empathy, so it's the book and its characters that linger in the mind. Which makes him an excellent choice for GK Chesterton's tales of the unassuming Catholic priest who claims that his work at the confessional (where he has to do next to nothing but hear men's real sinsA") puts him in an excellent position to solve the bizarre crimes that come his way in pre-first-world-war England. Chesterton's prose can be as ostentatiously extravagant as an Edwardian grandee's moustache, and is marred by a breezy anti-semitism. This, though, does not seem to be shared by the unassuming cleric, whose humble conviction that his God will eventually triumph over the souls of even the most evil of criminals is the quiet but insistent heartbeat of these unusual exercises in detective fiction. - Karen Robinson, The Sunday Times

Reseña del editor

Father Brown is an eccentric priest with his own particular ways of dealing with crime. David Timson, having completed the whole of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes canon, a remarkable achievement, turns his hand to the genial but certainly not innocent priest! This collection contains a group of stories from "The Innocence of Father Brown", told unabridged.
