Father Brown returns for a twelfth series, derived from the classic short stories of G K Chesterton. One of the most quirky, genial and lovable characters to emerge from English detective fiction, the kindly cleric with his large umbrella and numerous brown paper parcels, possesses a sharp intelligence, and limitless knowledge of men's evil. He works using intuition, shaped by his experiences as a priest and confessor.
"The quaint Cotswolds are abuzz with dastardly intrigue. Father Brown's new ally is a playwright priest who's written the perfect murder. But is art imitating death? There's medieval murder at a battle re-enactment, a new nemesis lurking in the shadows and an old one who's not quite as we remember him. And as Mrs. Devine and Chief Inspector Sullivan's wedding approaches, can Father Brown stop a would-be killer from ruining their big day?"-- Container.
