Book description
The Innocence of Father Brown is a 1911 collection of mystery short stories by English writer G. K. Chesterton.Set in the early twentieth century, each of the stories centers around the cunning investigations of Father Brown, an amateur detective who uses his incredible intuition to solve a variety of perplexing mysteries. The stories include:- ‘The Blue Cross’ - ‘The Secret Garden’ - ‘The Queer Feet’ - ‘The Flying Stars’ - ‘The Invisible Man’ - ‘The Honour of Israel Gow’ - ‘The Wrong Shape’ - ‘The Sins of Prince Saradine’ - ‘The Hammer of God’ - ‘The Eye of Apollo’ - ‘The Sign of the Broken Sword’ - ‘The Three Tools of Death’ Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was an English philosopher, theologian, writer, and critic. Born in London in 1874, he studied at the Slade School of Art and began to work as a freelance journalist after graduation. Over the course of his life, his literary output was incredibly diverse and highly prolific, ranging from philosophy and ontology to art criticism and detective fiction. However, he is probably best-remembered for his Christian apologetics, most notably in Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting Man (1925). Read & Co.

I'm hooked on this app – it's my escape to different worlds and adventures. The app is so well-designed. It’s clear the developers put a lot of thought into it. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
