In spite of the quiet setting, Bardo County in the American Midwest enjoys a lot of murders, and there is only person who is able to solve them: an old priest in his 90’s, serving as the Assistant Pastor as St. Dominic’s parish. His name is Father Brown. John Peterson has taken his expertise on the famous priest-sleuth and spun it into 44 irresistible short stories that will baffle you till each startling solution. It’s great to see Father Brown still in action. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ “A jewel, a treasure, a thing to be enjoyed again and again.” —G.J. MEYER, award-winning author of "A World Undone: The Story of the Great War" “Father Brown made his fame by being quite ordinary; he is as plain as a Norfolk dumpling. In these new stories, despite his age and his need for a cane, his mind continues to be as sharp as a tack, his powers of reasoning clear, his moral fiber, well, fibrous.” —NANCY CARPENTIER-BROWN, author of "The Father Brown Reader" and other books about Chesterton’s famous detective-priest. “Criminals from the merely inept to the fiendishly clever, beware: Father Brown is very much alive and on your tail in Bardo County.” —THERESE WARMUS, Literary Editor, Gilbert Magazine From “THE EXACT TIME”: "Father Brown did not own a watch and he never used an alarm clock. He simply woke up about five in the morning each day as a matter of long habit. The day of the murder was no exception. After dressing, he climbed down the stairs of the rectory and, leaning a bit on his knobby cane, trudged the few steps to the church. After taking out a key to unlock the front door of the church, the old priest heard something that gave him pause. "Father Brown was getting a bit deaf, but he was quite sure he had just heard a gunshot. He turned around, but he could not see much in the darkness. The lighted clock-face in the tower of the First National Bank building stood out starkly in the gloom, and he saw that it was exactly twenty-five minutes after five. Father Brown entered the church." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ JOHN PETERSON is the author of "The Return of Father Brown" and "G.K. Chesterton on Detective Fiction." He is the founding publisher of Gilbert, the magazine of the American Chesterton Society, and has edited three books on detective fiction. He lives in Barrington, Illinois.

Chesterton By Rocky Raccoon 'Father Brown' detective stories were the bread and butter of British author and journalist, G.K. Chesterton. Allegedly, this beloved detective enabled Chesterton to keep his publication 'The Illustrated London News' up and going. As a famous British author of such intelligent and stimulating books as 'The Everlasting Man,' 'Orthodoxy,' and illuminating biographies of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Thomas Aquinas, Chesterton's famous mystery stories created a beloved legacy about an astute priest who was able to lend his logic and conscience to unlock the most twisted and ingenious criminals and crimes. Like Sherlock Holmes before him, and probably 'Columbo' after him, "Fr. Brown" would catch his criminals when the blind spot of their descent into willful malice would come to the surface in Brown's order of things.Getting into the mind and heart of Father Brown is about the same labour as getting into the heart and mind of G.K. Chesterton--no small feat. With forty-four short, yet stimulating stories, author John Peterson, has delved into the mind-set of the diminutive priest with surprising skill. Originally published in 'The Mid-West Chesterton News' and, later, in 'Gilbert' magazines, these short shorts--as some have called them--do mine the common sense genius of the protagonist admirably well. There are limitations, however, and Peterson, himself, in his preface, concedes, "Chesterton's witty style is impossible to duplicate."Father Brown may have changed a little, too. He is older now, sporting a cane, and taking his place at St. Dominic's Church in 1972 somewhere in the Midwest. Peterson's stories improve incrementally. There may not be the same "aha" moments where the narrative is weaved with as much skill to catch the criminal, but the character is fully intact and his ability to uncover the "vindictiveness...out of which a mental fog rises up to hide the truth"* shows a Fr. Brown who hasn't lost his step.Noting that many Sherlock Holmes' stories were not penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author says that Chesterton's successors have often "missed the mark" of their task by focusing on the social--and not the moral implications--of Chesterton's creations. For those who are afficionados of easily digestible bits of mysterious short fiction, and especially fans of "Fr. Brown" and G. K. Chesterton, 'The Return of Fr. Brown' surely will not disappoint.*John Peterson, from 'The Return of Father Brown,' as penned in his preface

By Amazon Customer Here is a new collection of stories about that most enterprising crime-solver, Father Brown--not a work "forgotten," as the seller has it. And its author is not G.K. Chesterton but none other than the intrepid John Peterson, senior writer (now retired) for Gilbert Magazine, the journal of all things Chesterton.That said, I don't know where else you could find such a delightful return to the adventures of Father Brown, now in his nineties and more attuned to the criminal mind than ever, who resurfaces in Bardo County somewhere in the American Midwest. G.J. Meyer (award-winning author of "The Tudors") called this collection a "jewel"; it certainly is that, and readers can find more of Peterson's books at chesterton.org.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. NOT REALLY FATHER BROWN By Kent E. Schroder Julian Symons called the Father Brown short stories the finest mystery stories ever written- after Sherlock Holmes. Now, John Peterson has brought Father Brown back. Father Brown is now in his nineties. He's working as a Pastoral Associate at a church in the Midwest.What's the bad? These are very short stories- taking only about five minutes to read. The stories are not in Chesterton's style. Father Brown himself is much different from the Father Brown we know. FYI: the second story, in the book, and the last story are exactly the same.What's the good? Peterson has come up with some good puzzles. He has resolved the puzzles well. His solutions make perfect sense and do not rely on a total suspension of credulity. While there are about a half dozen failures, the overall quality of the stories is pretty good.
