Father Brown is a famous priest-detective created by G.K. Chesterton. In a series of detective short stories, he solves mysteries and crimes using his intuition and keen understanding of human nature. The priest appears clumsy and naive, with a face “as round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling.” His appearance, however, disguises a clever mind, penetrating insight, a gift for careful observation, and a deep understanding of human evil.
