The Innocence of Father Brown

The narrative centers on Father Brown, a Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective known for solving mysteries through his deep intuition and understanding of human nature. Created by G. K. Chesterton, this character appears in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936. Father Brown is inspired by a real-life parish priest, Rt Rev. Msgr. John O'Connor, who played a significant role in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism. The stories blend crime-solving with insights into morality and faith.
