![]() In the freezing English countryside, Father Brown leads Flambeau to the many monuments and shrines of the great General St. Claire. "Sacred to the Memory of General Sir Arthur St. Clare, Hero and Martyr, who Always Vanquished his Enemies and Always Spared Them, and Was Treacherously Slain by Them At Last. May God in Whom he Trusted both Reward and Revenge him." is the inscription that they read on each of them. Flambeau knows nothing of him but listens to the story of this man as Father Brown tells it. Was St. Claire truly a hero and martyr? What is the mystery behind his last foolish and hopeless charge against an overwhelming enemy? This detective story delves into human psychology for many of the clues to unravel the tangled threads. A fascinating story and said to be one of Chesterton's best Fr.Brown stories. |

Reviewer: Kim Saunders - November 18, 2019 Subject: The Innocence of Father Brown This is one of the better readers I have listened to (I also didn’t have a big problem with pronunciations) and thought the person who wrote the review should have had help with editing it before posting it, I do agree that Chesterton’s characters are more appealing to me than those I have come to know of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s. Very entertaining! |
Reviewer: Erin - October 18, 2018 Subject: Same level as Holmes each chapter is a short story of a mystery Father Brown has solved. They will keep you guessing until the end, wonderfully written. |
Reviewer: dg - October 9, 2018 Interesting stories and the reader was just fine. I suppose it's good to not know how some places are supposed to be pronounced since it didn't annoy me a bit. |
Reviewer: Diane - September 16, 2018 Subject: The innocence of father brown Always good stories, the reader is quite good |
Reviewer: Naphtali - July 15, 2017 Subject: Chesterton always entertaining The stories hold ones attention and cause one to think. The reader is a bit stilted at first but grows more comfortable |

Reviewer: Stefani C. - June 4, 2015 Subject: audio and story Great stories! Very clear narration. |
Reviewer: John P - July 31, 2014 Subject: Audio version reading The book itself is very well written and quite enjoyable as are many of Chesterton's books, however the reading for audio by Mr. Roberg is very stilted, mechanical and generally annoying. Had to give up on the audio. |
