I think the fact that he is a priest and not a police detective is why he does the things he does (the stuff reviewer says she doesnt care for). His job is souls, repentance, and confession so that is why he is able to understand criminal behavior and that is why he is not able to arrest people and provide justice...but he can get them to change their ways by asking them to think about their actions. One of the first stories explains how he can understand the human behavior because he listens to confessions. I think this gives the Father Brown stories a different element than other stories. They are a little more about morality and human nature.

I've enjoyed the TV series and wondered about the books. Sounds like the show really expanded on the basic material.

@SpinstersLibrary 6 месяцев назад

I've not seen the tv show but apparently they set that in the 50s, even though the books are from decades earlier - so I guess they didn't stick to the source too closely from the start.

My sister in law and niece enjoy the tv show. Though my s-i-l said she could not imagine an English village with so many Catholics in it!

@SpinstersLibrary 6 месяцев назад

None of the stories in the book are actually set in his home village!

@@SpinstersLibrary Lol! I think they set the tv series there to give it some continuity and the BBC wanted a rural daytime tv show. (They set it in the 1950s). Everyone from the landed gentry to the local police seem to be Catholics. 😄 As for the sketchy nature of the stories, actors can flesh out the lack of character you commented on. Plus, of course, most short stories were published in weekly or monthly magazines rather than all in one sitting. 53 stories over 26 years wouldn't have time to pall!

This is probably why… Many of the Father Brown stories were produced for financial reasons and at great speed.[12] Chesterton wrote in 1920 that "I think it only fair to confess that I have myself written some of the worst mystery stories in the world."
