[Story] Father Brown and The Invisible Man

Detective stories have a special place in my heart. I think I have read all of the Nancy Drew books in my old school’s library, and I’ve gone through almost all of Doyle’s narratives on Sherlock Holmes.

Just a little while ago, I listened to a podcast of “The Invisible Man”, which is about a man who goes about invisibly, even when suspected of murdering someone.

It is a very curious case (especially with the angle on semantics), but I was particularly struck by the quiet demeanor of the minister-investigator as he went about the crime particulars. He was seemingly meek and reserved, and the story ended with Father Brown in a manner not unbecoming of a cleric.

This case presented to me a character I am not very familiar with, and I suppose that I will go about trying to find more Father Brown stories now.

Just to note, I heard of the story through The Classic Tales Podcast.
