    About this audiobook

    The Colonel's body is discovered in the blacksmith's yard, the skull smashed like a crushed eggshell. No man for 40 miles around could have struck such a blow, except the giant of a blacksmith... and the blackmith has a cast-iron alibi.

    Only the reticent catholic priest Father Brown can deduce the extraordinary truth behind this bizarre murder.

Born in London, Chesterton attended St. Paul’s School before enrolling in the Slade School of Fine Art at University College.

      I chose this as a light read on a day off. To my surprise, I found myself wrapped in a deftly sketched and quite dark tragedy, ripe with all the hidden evil and insanity lurking in the human heart, but shot through with strains of decency and humility.
    • 4/5
      Excellent story, reader needs to slow down just a titch, and add more lilt to her voice.
