G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific English journalist and author best known for his mystery series featuring the priest-detective Father Brown and for the metaphysical thriller The Man Who Was Thursday. Baptized into the Church of England, Chesterton underwent a crisis of faith as a young man and became fascinated with the occult. He eventually converted to Roman Catholicism and published some of Christianity's most influential apologetics, including Heretics and Orthodoxy.

    G K Chestertton's "The Father Brown Mysteries" are a marvel, that a man given to serious debate over many things - and a top writer to boot - could compose these amazing light 'detective' stories. Italy's filmmakers have now produced a more modern series called "Don Matteo" (in Italian with English subtitles) also obtainable from Amazon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Would Love To Be Father Brown's Friend
    Reviewed in the United States on 18 October 2012

    I find myself absolutely loving these stories despite their flaws. I love the character of Father Brown even though he is not perfect. He (or maybe Chesterton) is a bit xenophobic, and is intensely freaked out by any religions that aren't Christianity. Any predominantly Christian country that is not England, he regards with a sort of amused respect, and their residents are portrayed as a mixed bag of simple folk, geniuses, total weirdos, good honest people, loyal friends, and any myriad of good or bad qualities. However, non-Christian people are not treated with the same respect. In one story that I found particularly disturbing, the villains in the case were a vast secret society of Voodoo practitioners, and the members of the religion were all Caribbean people of African descent. I spent two summers living in a place where Voodoo was widely practiced, and many of its practitioners were of African descent, and I found them to be some of the warmest, kindest, most loving people I had ever known. With the experience I've had, this story about Voodoo villains saddened me deeply. In that story, he also rolled repetitions of the "N" word like bowling balls. To a lesser extent, Eastern mystics and Hindus are also regarded with suspicion in these stories. It made me reconsider even reading the book, knowing that I was supporting racist attitudes. In the end, I forgave Chesterton for his ignorant and insensitive portrayal of people and religions he clearly didn't understand. I kept working through the stories, most of which I find delightful. The murderers in the stories are mostly Englishmen, since Father Brown lives primarily in England, and the English people receive almost the same amused treatment that all other nations do in the stories. I love the author's observations about human nature, and the way he develops his characters in a short time with this short story format. As other reviewers had mentioned, not all the stories are of equal quality, but many of them are highly entertaining and a good diversion. In fact, I would say that most of them are good mysteries and they feature a really delightful main character whom I would love to befriend. For the record, I don't feel personally offended by any of Chesterton's amused observations of Americans, women, or non-catholic Christians, so I think there are probably others who also would take it in stride. (Also: I am very, very sensitive.) In the end, I would recommend this book to people who are interested in 1930's mysteries, and who are willing to take the good bits along with the antiquated attitudes of an old-fashioned English gentleman (Chesterton) who is frightened of anyone who is unlike himself.
